Description: |
|
The Independence Monument (Vimean Ekareach) was inaugurated on
November 9, 1962 to celebrate the independence from the French
in 1953, but now also serving as a cenotaph to Cambodia's war
dead. The 20-meter high monument was designed by Cambodian
architect, Vann Molyvann, and is shaped in the form of a lotus,
which also can be seen at Angkor and other Khmer historical
sites. You are not allowed to enter the monument. At night it is
lit with blue, red and white light (the colours of the national
flag) and it should be an impressive sight - but I didn't see
it. |
