It was built to commemorate the breaking of French colonial rule on November 9, 1953 and gaining complete independence. Completed in March 1958, it is 37 meters high and has 7 floors in total, with 100 snake gods (symbol of Cambodian culture). During the Independence Festival every year, the Cambodian king or representative of the king holds a grand celebration here. Most of the foreign heads of state visited here to lay wreaths[21]
