The Hibualamo Monument is Tobelo's central landmark and a useful first stop before heading into the villages around North Halmahera. Its form refers to the traditional Hibualamo communal house, a symbol of meeting and shared identity in the region. It is quick to see, but it helps explain why Tobelo does not feel like a generic Indonesian port town.
