INDEPENDENCE MONUMENT AND
​KING NORODOM SIHANOUK MEMORIAL
Picture
When you arrive in Phnom Penh, you are likely to see this grand structure, the Independence Monument, at least once. Following which, you will then be able to see the the relatively new King Norodom Sihanouk Memorial.

​The Independence Monument was built in 1958, created to commemorate the country’s independence from France in 1953. It was designed by a local architect, with the result being a source of pride for Cambodians. During the day as well as at night, this structure attracts visitors of all types, looking to snap pictures of and with this monument.

​
Located east of the monument is the King Norodom Sihanouk Memorial, where the King is depicted looking towards Tonle Sap river. This King holds special interest to Cambodians, as he was the one who brought independence to Cambodia back in 1953, and was also the country’s first Prime Minister.

At night, you can also see many locals hanging out at this park, where activities abound and they chill under the moonlight while having their dinner. It is a nice place to sit down and talk, while under the watch of the King!
