Independence Square is located in the center of Phnom Penh. On the square stands the Independence Monument and the bronze statue of Sihanouk Memorial. When we went, Princess Sirinton of Thailand had just left after paying homage to her. The Thai flag and red carpet on the square had not yet been put away. Squares and monuments are commemorative of the heroes who died for Cambodia's independence and national liberation, similar to our people's Heroes Monument in Tiananmen Square.
