This is the fifth gate of "Angkor Thom", the capital city of the Khmer Empire built, in the 12th and 13th centuries, by the legendary builder King Jayavarman VII. Its name - "Victory Gate" - derives from the assumption that Khmer troops would leave or enter "Angkor Thom" through this magnificent triumphal arch. Right after the temples of "Thommanon" and "Chau Say Tevoda", a causeway with giant statues (although restored, it is not as well-preserved as the one at South Gate - many bodies and most heads missing) leads to "Victory Gate", built at the Eastern wall of "Angkor Thom" and in line to the "Royal Square", through the towers of "Prasat Suor Prat", the "Terrace of the Elephants", the ancient Hindu temple of "Phimeanakas" and the "Royal Palace". "Victory Gate" and its giant balaustrade is best viewed at mornings, when natural lighting is perfect for your pictures and, please, do not forget to ask your local guide or driver to stop at "Victory Gate", as they sometimes skip it, stopping only at the also magnificent and more complete "South Gate of Angkor Thom". Enjoy!

Ta Dumbong Kro Aung Statue ( Black man Statue ) Founded in the 11th century by the Khmer Empire, Battambang is the leading rice-producing province of the country. For nearly 100 years it was a major commercial hub and provincial capital of Siamese province of Inner Cambodia (1795-1907), though it was always populated by Khmer, with some ethnic Vietnamese, Lao, Thai and Chinese. Battambang remains the hub of Cambodia’s northwest, connecting the region with Phnom Penh and Thailand.

The King Norodom Sihanouk Memorial The bronze statue of the King is housed in a 27 meter high stupa located in the park sandwiched between Sihanouk Blvd. & Suramarit Blvd. street 268, a very short distance from the Independence Monument. He died in China October 2012. This is an important monument reflecting so much that he did for Cambodia. A major achievement being liberating the country on the 9th November 1953 from France. Up to then, Cambodia had been a French Protectorate since 1867. The memorial can easily be seen from the streets but for a close-up view, to read the inscriptions & get photographs, one would need to cross (very carefully) the busy roads, to enter the park. I am showing images taken during the daytime & at night when the memorial is thoughtfully illuminated. Sihanouk Blvd. is a very busy thoroughfare with shops, banks & restaurants close by.

This obelisk commemorates Cambodia's freedom from France in 1953.
Reviewed By C8070DRphillips
This was designed by renowned Khmer architect Vann Molyvann. Built in 1958 to celebrate the Cambodia Independence from France in 1953. It's in a roundabout at the intersection of two major streets so it's impossible to miss. Most people just drive by because there's no parking area near it.The pulsating colored lights and fountains around it are interesting and some might want to take photos of it when it is floodlit at night.
