Arc de Triomphe a Parigi

Arc de Triomphe a Parigi.
Il monumento per eccellenza di Parigi secondo solo alla Torre Eiffel.

Photo taken with Canon 600D and lens Tamron 16-300.

Napoleone I, dopo la battaglia di Austerlitz, disse ai soldati francesi che con lui avevano combattuto: “si tornerà alle vostre case solo sotto archi di trionfo” e difatti un decreto imperiale datato 18 febbraio 1806 ordinò la costruzione di un arco trionfale dedicato appunto alle vittorie conseguite dall’esercito francese. Nell’intento dell’imperatore, la realizzazione dell’arco era il punto di partenza per un grande viale che avrebbe congiunto il Louvre alla Piazza della Bastiglia.

Where is the arch located:

Composed by Rouget de Lisle in 1792, it is part of the process of affirmation of the idea of nation, it represents one of the first (for some the first) examples of a modern national anthem and has established itself as a model for republican ones, in contrast to the slightly earlier anthem of the British monarchy God Save the King. As a bearer of democratic ideals and textually subversive, it was banned in absolute monarchies and replaced in Napoleonic France, the Restoration and the Second Empire.

Detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
I don't think the Arc de Triomphe in Paris needs many words.
I therefore tried to photograph some details of the monument.
In the photo, for example, one of the four sculptures that adorn it: the triumph of 1810 with Napoleon being crowned by Victory.

Here's where the arch is located:

The Arc de Triomphe is inspired by the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum in Rome. The monument is 50 meters high, 45 meters wide and 22 meters deep, making it the second largest triumphal arch, after the one built in North Korea in 1982 to mark Kim Il Sung’s seventieth birthday. The interior walls of the arch display the names of 660 French generals; some of these names are underlined to indicate that they died in battle.
