    The triumphal arch from Romania

    The triumphal arch from Romania is situated in the capital,Bucharest. The monument was
    projected by Petre Antonescu and it was built in 1921 and finished in 1922. It represents
    Romania s participation in the First World War.

    The building has a height of 27 meters and it has only one opening on both sides.The
    first,wooden,triumphal arch was built hurriedly after Romania gained its independence in
    1878,so that the victorious troops could march under it. The arch s exterior,which had seriously
    decayed,was replaced in 1935 by then current much more modern design,more closely
    modelled in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The new arch,also designed by Petre Antonescu and
    executed in stone ,was inaugurated on 1 December in 1936.

    The sculpture with which the facades are decorated were created by famous Romanian
    sculptors such as Ion Jalea and Dimitrie Paciura.
