Building World Landmarks: ARC Dtriomphe

by Margaret Speaker Yuan

The Arc d' Triomphe stands at the heart of Paris. Proposed by Napoleon I in 1806, the Arc was built as a monument to the French Army's triumph at Austerlitz. The Arc commemorates the sacrifices of wartime, and celebrates the ideals of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
