This monument is built by Architecture Vann Molyvann too because he is very famous that time and most of high ranking people knew his ability well. The reason of building this monument because of French Colonization, it represents the number of years that French took over Cambodia Country nearly 100 years which started from 1863 to 1954. The Khner dragon head is represented one year of colonization. In addition, the Kingdom of Cambodia always celebrates the National Day on December 9th every year since it provides Cambodian people to remember the braveness of heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives to protect and release Cambodia from French Colonization.
