The world famous Arch of Triumph structure which was commissioned in 1806 and its construction finished in 1836.
The primary purpose of the monument was to celebrate the victory of Napoleon.
With its detailed friezes and carvings, the work is an absolute delight to look at. The sheer size of the monument combined with photographs makes it one of the most marvelous pieces of architecture. The Arc stands 50m high, and is 45m and 22m wide. It has a raised passageway which is 30m tall.
