Also known as “Victory Monument,” this Angkor-style tower was designed by renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from foreign rule. Built in 1958, the monument’s distinctive form suggests a lotus flower bud and is adorned with Naga heads (multi-headed snakes), a tribute to the motifs found on the towers of Angkor Wat.
