The Arch of Triumph symbolizes Romania’s victory in World War I, which Romanians consider the War of Reunification of the Nation. Built in 1918 as a wooden arch, it quickly deteriorated. In 1922, a wooden replacement was constructed and remained until 1932, when the current marble arch was created.
