Introduction

The Arc de Triomphe is a building constructed to celebrate Napoleon's victory in the European Wars. However, before the completion of the arch, Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo. Later, Francis, the ruler of Milan, renamed the arch the Peace Arch in 1826. Now, there is a bronze statue above the arch depicting the goddess of peace holding an olive branch, standing on a chariot pulled by six horses.
