Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
To the east of the square of Victory Park, you can see the Arc de Triomphe in Moscow, which is comparable to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. Because it was built to commemorate the same war: France was to commemorate Napoleon's occupation of Moscow in 1812; Russia was to commemorate the Russian army's victory over the French army in 1812. Only 30,000 of the 600,000 troops led by Napoleon returned to Paris. The Arc de Triomphe is 28 meters high. Between the gateposts, there are four Russian soldiers in armor, with shield guns in their hands, and the words "Expel France, Liberate Moscow" are engraved on their fingers. To the left of the Arc de Triomphe stands a blue cylindrical building. This is the Panorama Museum of the Battle of Borodino. The panorama means that there are complete panoramic murals painted on the circular inner wall of the museum, with real objects placed nearby, and the characters in the paintings are life-size. The whole picture is 115 meters long and 15 meters high, which vividly reproduces the fierce battle between the Russian army and the French army in the village of Borodino, 110 kilometers west of Moscow, on September 7, 1812. There are 400 marshals and generals and more than 3,000 soldiers on the screen. The battle scene is vivid and realistic. The battle is described in detail in War and Peace. On the east side of the museum, there is also a statue of Marshal Kutuzov riding a horse.

Travel to Russia, in Russia can see the Arc de Triomphe everywhere, the tour bus often pass by, because there is no arrangement to get off the Arc de Triomphe in the itinerary, so you can only grab a few photos when the car passes by. The Arc de Triomphe was originally created by the ancient Romans and was a kind of monumental building built to celebrate the victory of the war, usually a separate building that straddles a road. The Arc de Triomphe is 28 meters high, and the warriors holding shields and spears stand between the columns, and the walls above the warriors are reliefs reflecting the battles of the Russian and French forces.
The Arc de Triomphe, as its name suggests, is a triumphal gate for troops who are out to fight. It is the world's largest arch, located on the roundabout in the center of Charles de Gaulle in central Paris. This square is also built with the Lion Arc de Triomphe, because the Arc de Triomphe was built after the completion of the Arc de Triomphe, which caused inconvenience to traffic. So in the mid-19th century, a circular square and 12 roads were built around the Arc de Triomphe for a week, each road was 40~80 meters wide and radiant. Like the star glow, this square is called the Star Square. The Arc de Triomphe is also called the Star Gate. It is located at the end of the famous Champs Elysees.
The building is beautiful and has European architectural style. It is located in the direction of leaving the city, and the only one is the Arc de Triomphe, which is 28 meters high. It is built in accordance with the Arc de Triomphe style of Constantine in ancient Rome. A total of 6 groups of 12 cylinders were erected on the base of the door. The cylinder is made of pig iron, 12 meters high and 16 tons heavy. Between the columns stood the warriors with shields and spears. On the walls above the warriors were reliefs reflecting the fighting between the Russian and French forces. On the top of the Arc de Triomphe lies six triumphal carriages with wings on their backs. In the carriage sits the goddess of victory. Her right hand is high with a laurel wreath, facing the entrance of the city. Its warriors, with sword or laurel wreath and olive branch, symbolize victory and peace. Between the gateposts were four Russian soldiers, armoured, armed with shields and guns, with quots engraved on their fingers; France expelled and Moscow liberated; and the lintel was decorated with the city signs of 44 Russian cities fighting Napoleon's army. The whole Arc de Triomphe is covered with white stone, which stands out against the black cylinder.
Moscow Metro Line 3 Deep Blue Line to Victory Park/Plaza Station (Парк Победы, park pobedy) to see the Arc de Triomphe (Триумфальные Ворота, Triumphal arch) and Victory Square built in 1829, completed in 5 years. Note that Victory Square and Kiev Station are famous subway stations. The Arc de Triomphe in Moscow was built in 1829 and completed in 5 years. The 28-meter-high Arc de Triomphe was built in the style of the ancient Roman Constantine Arc de Triomphe. The entire Arc de Triomphe is glazed with white stone and is particularly striking against black columns. It is almost exactly the same Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but slightly smaller. Both of these triumphal arches were built to commemorate the same war, to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon by the Russian army, which is perhaps the only historical example in world history. We went to the triumphal arch first, and the magnificent triumphal arch of four women was so petite, posing and taking pictures. Then walk to Victory Square.
