The Independence Monument was inaugurated in November 9, 1962 , a project of renowned
Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann. It was erected to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from foreign rule and now also serves as a monument to Cambodia’s war dead. Note the lotus bud motif reminiscent of the spires of Angkor Wat. It is the site of colorful celebrations on holidays such as Independence Day.
