Monument to the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War

Monument to the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War, Military monument in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The Monument to the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War is an outdoor complex in Pyongyang's Pot'onggang-guyŏk district, on the bank of the Pothong River. A 14-metre bronze-relief gate opens onto a 150,000-square-metre plaza. Ten side sculptures flank the central Victory Statue, a 27-metre bronze soldier on a granite base raising the North Korean flag.

The monument was completed in 1993, the 40th anniversary of the Korean War armistice, on a 150,000-square-metre site in Pyongyang's Pot'onggang-guyŏk district. It stands next to the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum and incorporates ten side monuments named for specific actions, among them "Defenders of Altitude 1211", "Heroes of Wolmido" and "Battle of Nakdong River". The captured US Navy spy ship USS Pueblo is moored on the nearby bank of the Taedong River.

The ten side sculptures carry titles such as "Defenders of Altitude 1211", "Heroes of Wolmido" and "Battle of Nakdong River", naming battles and units of the Fatherland Liberation War. The monument appears on the reverse of the 10-won banknote and is one of the motifs of the Arirang Festival.

The site covers 150,000 square metres in Sojang-dong, Pot'onggang-guyok, on the bank of the Pothong River northwest of Ponghwa Street. Enter through the 14-metre gate with bronze reliefs, then follow the central square past the ten side sculptures to the 27-metre Victory Statue. The war museum stands directly beside the monument, and the USS Pueblo is moored on the nearby Taedong River bank.

The monument appears on the reverse of the 10-won banknote and is one of the motifs of the Arirang Festival. Moored on a nearby bank of the Taedong River is the captured US Navy spy ship USS Pueblo.
