The city is also known as the birthplace of the first president of Indonesia. The name Surabaya consists of a combination of the words sura (shark) and baya (crocodile). Of these two strong animal species shark represent the power in the sea, and crocodile represents the power in the land. The shapes of these animals are also used in the emblem of the city. The Adhiwangsa, The Via & Vue, Taman Beverly, Trillium and Water Place Residences are known as the highest skyscrapers in the city.
