The Arch of Triumph stands at the foot of Moran Hill in the capital city of Pyongyang. It is a grand monument erected to hand down the immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung who made a triumphal return home to Pyongyang after achieving the historic cause of national liberation by organizing and leading the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to victory.

Unveiled in April 1982, the 60m-high monument is made of well-trimmed high-grade granite.

Inscribed on the structure are the stanzas of the revolutionary hymn Song of General Kim Il Sung and “1925” and “1945”, the former meaning the year when the President embarked on the road of the anti-Japanese revolution and the latter, the year when he returned home in triumph after achieving national liberation.

The group sculptures on both sides of the monument symbolize the Korean people’s joy and delight over greeting Kim Il Sung in the liberated country 80 years ago and their ardent desire to create a new life.
