Arch of Triumph |
Built in 1982 to commemorate the resistance to Japanese rule between 1925 – 1945, it was inaugurated on the 70th Birthday of Kim Il Sung. Each of the 25,500 blocks of granite represents a single day in his life, up to that point. The Arch is slightly larger than the Parisian equivalent, standing 60 metres high and 52.5 metres wide. There is a lift up to the top, allowing panoramic views of the city. |
