Triumphal Arch

  Triumphal Arch stands at the intersection of Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the Garden Ring in Moscow, marking a historical gateway into the city. Erected in 1966 to commemorate Russia's victory in the war of 1812, this structure replaces the original, which was designed by architect Osip Bove. Notably, it measures 25 meters in height and features intricate sculptures that depict significant military figures from Russia's past. In May, visitors can often catch events around the arch, as it becomes a backdrop for parades and celebrations. As you explore the area, take a moment to admire the detailed bas-reliefs while enjoying the nearby parks and gardens.
