 Triumphal Arch - Bucharest by codrutz
Raised in 1922 to commemorate Romania's Great War dead, the original construction was of wood, replaced by the present, Petru Antonescu designed concrete structure in 1935. Standing 25 metres high, the Arc has a staircase that allows visitors to climb to the terrace on the top of the monument. The sculptures that decorate the monument were created by leading artists of the day, including Ion Jalea, Constantin Medrea and Constantin Baraschi.
The Triumphal Arch in Bucharest is a little smaller than the one in Paris, but it is also located at the intersection of (six) boulevards. Leave a Comment

Designed by the Romanian architect Petre Antonescu, this 35m high arch was erected in order to celebrate the dead WWI heroes.
The first monument, a wooden one, was erected on the same spot in 1922. The actual arch was built in 1935 in Deva granite. It is conceived in classical style, following the model of the great Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Leave a Comment Address: Arcul de Triumf Square, Bucharest

 The Triumph Arch by gosiaPL
It was raised in 1935 to commemorate the victory in WWI and was designed by the Romanian architect Petre Antonescu. It replaced the wooden arch that was formerly erected in 1922.
Romanians seem to be very proud of this arch, and they gladly mention it to be the spot for army parades on national holidays. Leave a Comment Directions: Soseaua Kiseleff (K. Blvd) by the Herastrau Park.

 A little taste of Paris by Dabs
The original structure, made out of wood, was built in 1922 to commemorate the dead from WWI and was replaced by the current concrete/granite structure in 1935.
One of the guidebooks says you can climb to the top of the monument, but I never saw people on top of it nor did I see any possible way to get the the arch without getting flattened by crazy Bucharest drivers. I had to be content with taking a picture from the car window. Leave a Comment Address: Piata Arcul de TriumfDirections: Soseaua Kiseleff, just south of Herastrau Park

This Romanian imitation of Paris' Arc de Triomphe was built in 1935 to replace an earlier, poorly-constructed arch, which had been erected in 1922 to commemorate the unification of Romania four years earlier. This one is possibly even grander than the one in Paris. It stands at a busy road intersection, which is not particularly pedestrian friendly. You'll see it if you visit Herăstrău Park.
