The Independence Monument was built to commemorate Cambodia's complete independence from French colonial rule on November 9, 1953. Located at the intersection of Norodom Avenue and Sihanoukville Avenue, in the center of Merdeka Square. The monument was designed by the famous Cambodian designer Van Moniwang. It was completed in March 1958. It is 37 meters high and has 7 floors. There are 100 seven-headed snake gods (the cultural symbol of Cambodia) on the monument. Bud-shaped, beautiful and spectacular. Every year on National Day, the King of Cambodia or the representative of the King will hold a grand celebration here, which is very memorable.
