Swadhinata Stambha (Bengali: স্বাধীনতা স্তম্ভ, romanized: Sbādhīnatā Stambha) or Independence Monument is a national monument in Bangladesh to commemorate the historical events that took place in the Suhrawardy Udyan, previously known as Ramna Race Course ground regarding the Liberation War of Bangladesh.

The main attraction of the project is a 50-meter high tower composed of stacked glass panels, which stands at the place where the Pakistani Instrument of Surrender was signed at the end of the war.

[4] Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury and Marina Tabassum, two architects who graduated from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology came with a design of a suitable project.

The focal point in the experience of the space is the monument: a Tower of Light made of stacked glass sheets.

The project included a 100 meter long glass tower, an underground museum, mural works, amphitheater, a number of walkways, a water body and a very special 'eternal flame'.

During BNP regime a stone holding the list of the freedom fighters of Dhaka who were martyred was made.

The then prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia inaugurated the monument on 22 October 2006 without the glass tower.

The tower was built on the place where the commander-in-chief of East Pakistan Army Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi signed the papers of his surrender.

A large photograph of the historical 7th March Speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the main attraction of the underground museum.

There are a number of terracotta murals on war-heroes and the events of the Liberation War, a 2000-seat auditorium, and an open-air theatre.
