Review & FAQ:
Independence Monument , known as Vimean Ekareach, was designed by modern Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann in 1958. The architect’s other works include the State Palace, the National Theatre, the National Sports Council, and the Council of Ministers. The monument symbolizes the country’s independence from France and can be seen in Phnom Penh, the country’s capital. Built in a style like that of the great Khmer temple, visitors will see a beautiful lotus-shaped stupa that is stunning in the day as well as at night. Visitors who are there during national celebrations will be able to witness a ceremonial flame being lit within the monument.
