APAD 261: A Buddhist stupa

This Buddhist stupa stands in front of the Phnom Penh Railways station. A stupa is a Buddhist monument that is usually used to house sacred Buddhist relics.

It was built in 1956, just after Cambodia’s independence. I forgot the name of the stupa but I’ll ask my Khmer friends again and update this post.
