Triumphal Arch of Moscow

Moscow's Triumphal Arch stands in the middle of Kutuzovsky Avenue near Victory Park. The first arch was built in the 1820s and 1830s to mark Russia's victory over Napoleon; the present one was rebuilt in the 1960s from Osip Bove's original designs.

It is a quick stop rather than a long visit, but the setting makes sense as part of the city's wider war memorial landscape around Victory Square and Poklonnaya Hill.
