The Independence Monument in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is a prominent symbol of the country's liberation from French colonial rule. Erected in 1958, the monument commemorates Cambodia's independence, which was achieved on November 9, 1953. Designed by the renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, the structure is built in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, a common feature in Khmer architecture.
