If you say “Triumphal Arch” Automatically we moved to Paris, where this great monument concentrated gaze of those walking on the Champs-Élysées.
However, Europe has few triumphal arches as these monuments were very typical among the Romans. When you won a major battle, the Roman people raised one of these arcs and then there are the reproductions, many of them performed with great accuracy.
The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is the most famous in the world. Located on the Place Charles de Gaulle, west of the said avenue, was built between 1806 and 1836 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte and after winning the battle of Austerlitz in 1805. France has a second Arc de Triomphe located in Eorange. Dating back to the legacy of emperor Augustus and was built after the Romans win the wars of Gaul and the Legio II Augusta
The Arch of Constantine is located in Rome between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It’s much older than that of Paris since its construction dates back to 315 AD C. and born after Constantine the Great won the battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD C. Not far from there is the Arch of Titus, another Roman monument of great importance.
No need to take buses to the city to know they can get there on foot. This arch is located on the southeast corner of the Roman Forum was born as a tribute to death by Titus. It is the oldest of the city and its construction was ordered by Domitian, brother of the emperor.
Is located significantly further from the Arc de Triomphe in Moscow that was built after the victory of Russian troops in the Patriotic War of 1812 against Napoleon Bonaparte. It is a short walk from the Plaza de la Victoria and was built between 1829 and 1834.
