The Canadia Bank is one of the leading banks of Cambodia, and it has a new home. A large tower, near the train station, not too far from the Mekong River. This area of the city, as I understand it, is intended, in the fullness of time, to become the financial centre of the city. Easy to find, the tower is visible from most of the city.
Guarding the main entrance to the tower are two lions flanking the entrance. They are large, male (natch) and manage to look both comfortable and fierce at the same time, I would judge life sized. They are also black in colour, and most likely constructed from bronze. They are near identical, but each looks out a little from their side, i.e. the right most lion looks the right, ditto for the left.
from the website:
Canadia Bank Plc. was established on 11th November 1991 as “Canadia Gold & Trust Corporation Ltd.”, joint-venture between Cambodian - Canadians and the National Bank of Cambodia (Central Bank of Cambodia). The bank’s management consisted of former staff of the National Bank of Cambodia and its Cambodian – Canadian shareholders.
