Somehow reminiscent of famous Parisian roundabouts, which steals the show from the monument a bit.

The Independence Monument (Khmer: វិមានឯករាជ្យ [ʋimiən ʔaekariəc]) in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, was erected in 1958 to commemorate Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. It stands on a roundabout at the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the city center. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, in the style of the temple at Banteay Srei and other historic Khmer sites. The Independence Monument was designed by Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, who was "personally selected and instructed" by Prince Norodom Sihanouk on how the monument should look and should "unite the religious and the secular". It is 37 metres (121 ft) high.
