Arc de Triomphe
This is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the arch’s construction in 1806 after his victory at Austerlitz. Jean Charlgrin started as the architect and passed away. Jean-Nicolas Huyot took over the work. After completing the project in 1836, King Louis-Phillip dedicated the arch to those who fought in the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. In 1921, after World War I, the Unknown Soldier was buried at the base.
