Pyongyang, North Korea
The "Great Leader" Kim Il Sung and "Dear Leader" Kim Jung Il have a widespread personality cult in the DPRK. The city is full of images of both leaders, in statues, murals, building walls, and badges. The Immortal Tower is an example of this personality cult, dedicated to the guiding spirit of Kim Il Sung. The Friendship Tower commemorates the alliance of the DPRK and China.
