DescriptionArch of Triumph, Pyongyang, North Korea.jpg |
English: One of Kim Il Sung's many monumental birthday presents to himself, the Arch of Triumph was completed in 1982, for his 70th birthday. The structure commemorates the triumphant homecoming of Kim Il Sung after he "liberated Korea from Japan".
The unfinished skyscraper in the background is the Ryugyong Hotel. Construction on the 105 story complex began in 1987 and halted in 1992 when the collapse of communism in Europe threw North Korea into financial difficulties. The colossal white elephant dominates Pyongyang's skyline. Construction has resumed since early 2008 with funding from the Egyptian firm, Oruscom Group. |
