    Considered the center of Phnom Penh, the independence Monument is iconic. It's te city's heartbeat- people exercise, dance, relax or shop.

    The Independence Monument was built to commemorate Cambodia's liberation from French colonial rule on November 9, 1953. It was completed in March 1958, 37 meters high, 7 floors, with 100 snake gods (Cambodian cultural symbol). At the Independence Festival, the Cambodian King or King's representative held a grand celebration here. Visiting foreign heads of state also come here to lay wreaths.

    The Independence Monument (Khmer: វិមានឯករាជ្យ [ʋimiən ʔaekariəc]) in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, was built in 1958 to memorialise Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. It stands on a roundabout in the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the temple at Banteay Srei and other Khmer historical sites.[1] The Independence Monument was designed by the Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, who was “personally selected and instructed” by Prince Norodom Sihanouk on how it should look like, combining “the religious and the secular.”[2] It stands 37 metres tall
