Iconic monument of the Bucharest, the Arch of Triumph “shaped-shifted” during the years until its present day form. Built to celebrate Romania’s war effort in the First World War and the 1918 Great Union, the twenty-seven meter high construction was modeled after the famous French “Arc de Triomph”, by the Romanian architect Petre Antonescu. The first arch, finished in 1918, was built using materials sensitive even to the rain. Between 1935 and 1936, great efforts were undertaken for this imposing monument to come to life in its present day form. The Arch of Triumph, built with local materials and decorated with creations of Romanian artists, was inaugurated on December 1, 1936. @ampt_bucuresti
