Democracy Monument is an Art Deco monument at the centre of a traffic roundabout on Ratchadamnoen Avenue. Designed by Italian sculptor Corrado Feroci (known in Thailand as Silpa Bhirasri), it commemorates the 1932 Siamese revolution that ended absolute monarchy.
Unveiled on 24 June 1940, the monument marks the spot near the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall where the People's Party staged their bloodless coup in 1932. It was designed by Feroci in the prevailing Fascist-era monumental style.
