Wat Phnom ( Hill Temple )
Wat Phnom is the symbol of the capital and the place from which Phnom Penh derives its name. The Khmer word 'Phnom Penh ' means 'hill' in English so Phnom Penh literally translates as 'Penh Hill' . It is the only hill in Phnom Penh and is located in the north-east of the city between the Boeng Kak Lake and the Tonle Sap River.
According to legend, the first temple on this site was erected in 1373 to house four statues of the Buddha, deposited by the waters of the Mekong and discoversed by a woman named Penh.
There is a busy little park around the slopes of the hill that hosts an array of street sellers catering to the needs of tourists, and to the constant stream of local pilgrims trekking to see the hill's Vihara, shrines and fortune-tellers.
West of the Vihara is an enormouse stupa containing the ashe of King Ponhea Yat who reigned from 1405-1467.
Wat Botum: This wat is situated just northwest of the intersection of Sotheros and Sihanouk Boulevards, and is significant because it is one of the city's original Wats. It was founded in 1422 by King Ponhea Yat.

Independence Monument
The monument was built in 1985 to symbolize the independence Cambodia gained from France in 1953. The French had ruled Indochina for over a century but the region following defeat at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam in May 1954.
King Sihanouke, the most influential figure in 20th Century Khmer politiecs, was instrumental in engineering Cambodia's independence and is still revered for this achievement.
