Norodom Sihanouk Memorial, Bronze memorial statue in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The memorial features a 4.5-meter bronze statue of King Norodom Sihanouk wearing a business suit beneath a 27-meter stupa on Preah Suramarit Boulevard.

The memorial, inaugurated in October 2013, honors King Norodom Sihanouk, who led Cambodia to independence from French colonialism in 1953 and ruled through multiple regimes.

The memorial structure incorporates Khmer architectural elements, with a traditional Buddhist stupa design rising above the central bronze statue in a landscaped garden.

The memorial site maintains strict security measures with military personnel present, requiring visitors to follow specific protocols and dress codes during their visit.

Beyond his role as king, Norodom Sihanouk created 50 films and composed music combining Khmer and Western styles, reflecting his artistic contributions to Cambodia.
