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.

 The Triumph Arch by gosiaPL The romanian classical style Arcul de Triumf stands in the middle of Soseaua Kiseleff (K. Blvd) just where the Herastrau Park begins. It visibly follows the Triumph Arch in Paris, and in fact, Kiseleff Blvd is often called Bucharest's Champs Elysee. 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 If you are driving up near Herastrau Park or the Village Museum, you should pass by the Arcul de Triumf, Bucharest's version of the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris. 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

by alirom The rock and marble gate of the Capital (over 35 meters in height), raised in consideration of the victory achieved in the First World War, created after the project of the architect Petre Antonescu. The facades was decorated in the romanian style. The first monument, a wooden one, was erected on the same spot in 1922. The actual arch was built in 1935 in Deva granite, by Architect Petre Antonescu, who is also the father of the Bucharest City Hall. It is conceived in classical style, following the model of the great Arch of Triumph in Paris. Leave a Comment

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.

 The Triumphal Arch, Bucharest by Andraf In northern Bucharest, along Sos. Kiseleff lies Bucharest's Triumphal Arch (Arcul de Triumf). Modelled on the triumphal arch in Paris, the structure was erected in 1935-1936 to commemorate the creation of Greater Romania which took place in 1918. It sits on the spot where two earlier arches stood: the first arch made of wood and cardboard was erected in 1878 to mark Romania's independence from the Turks; the second arch made of timber was erected in 1922 to mark Ferdinand's entry into Bucharest as the first king of Greater Romania. The current arch is built of concrete and granite. Portraits of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie decorate one face, while the names of battles fought by Romanians during the First World War can be seen on the other face. The portraits of the king and queen were destroyed during the communist rule but they were restored in 1992. The sculptures decorating the arch were created by leading artists of the day, including Ion Jalea, D. Onofrei and Constantin Baraschi. Leave a Comment
