After the full claim of independence from the French colony on November 9, 1953 was established and inaugurated in 1958 under King Norodom Suramarit (1955-1960), King Father Norodom Sihanouk. The monument was erected to symbolize that Cambodia gained independence from France on November 9, 1953 and is a memorial to the dead for the national cause and to celebrate freedom and independence from foreign rule.

The Independence Monument, formerly called the Independence Monument, stands tall in the center of the traffic circle between Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Avenue in the heart of Phnom Penh.

It costs around 500 million riels. With deteriorating conditions and sometimes falling pieces of concrete, worrying at some point in time. In 2012, the Royal Government of Cambodia also decided to renovate and renovate for the second time, with the cost of $ 800,000 up to over one million dollars being repaired before Independence Day.
