Norodom Palace Gatehouse

The only surviving structure from the original Norodom Palace (which was bombed in 1962 and replaced with today's Reunification Palace) is this impressive French-colonial-era gatehouse. Good-quality art history exhibitions are held here; the last ticket is issued at 4.30pm.
