Triumphal arches document military and historical events of their time. These monuments to victories and commemoration stand in cities around the world. The structures combine architectural elements with historical documentation through reliefs, inscriptions, and sculptures. The collection includes Roman triumphal arches such as the Arch of Constantine, Arch of Titus, and Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome, along with the Arch of Trajan in Benevento. Paris features the Arc de Triomphe, Porte Saint-Denis, and Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Siegestor in Munich, and Puerta de Alcalá in Madrid document European history. Further examples include the India Gate in New Delhi, Patuxaï in Vientiane, and Arch 22 in Banjul. In North America, the Washington Square Arch and Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch stand in New York, while the Gateway Arch rises in St. Louis. The Triumphal Arch of Orange and Hadrian's Arch in Athens demonstrate ancient Roman architecture.
