Mention the Arc de Triomphe, and more friends will immediately reflect the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, while Rome's Arch of Triumph, then pay attention to those little (Oh, also in his rookie column). No wonder, as the ancient buildings of the specimens, the Arc de Triomphe monument in Rome, dotted the "open-air museum", it is indeed appear to be so for much, so most of the tourists in the eyes of Rome, the Arc de Triomphe is just an insignificant incidental materials, very few people (especially the tour group) in Rome will visit the Arc de Triomphe as a subject to treatment. The fact is, founded in 1806 in Paris Charles de Gaulle Square, the Arc de Triomphe, although the whole of Europe more than 100 blocks the Arc de Triomphe in the largest and most famous one, but also wore the four old buildings in Paris (the other three are: Effie children tower , the Louvre and Notre Dame de Paris) on behalf of the name of one of the first, but because of its own history, compared with the Roman Arch of Triumph, at least late 1500 or so, but also in its architectural style has a clear imitation of color, Therefore, its historical value, whether or architectural value, should be a far cry from Rome's Arch of Triumph.
