Arch of Triumph
The Arch of Triumph, located at the foot of Moran Hill, was unveiled in April 1982 in commemoration of Kim Il Sung’s triumphant return after achieving Korea’s liberation.
The 60m-high arch is made of over 10 000 granite slabs.
Carved in relief on its front and back sides is the immortal revolutionary hymn Song of General Kim Il Sung, and embossed on either side of the walls are 1925 and 1945 symbolic of the years when Kim Il Sung embarked on the road of the revolution and when he made a triumphant return after achieving national liberation. Below them are six-person bronze sculptures.
