memorial, monument, 1993_construction
This site was constructed in 1993 to mark the end of the active hostilities of the Korean War. It is a white stone park of bronze sculptures depicting various battles of that war. It is dedicated to the "Korean People's Army and Korean people who defeated the US imperialists and its allies during the Fatherland Liberation War."
The intended highlight of the monument is a bronze soldier shouting "hurry" in the direction of the Ryugyong Hotel (second photo). This monument is based on Berlin's Victory Tower which was erected following Prussian defeat of the French in 19th Century Europe.
