Taq-e Zafar, Victory arch in Paghman District, Kabul, Afghanistan.
The white marble arch features classical architectural elements and stands at the entrance of the Paghman gardens with calligraphic inscriptions.
Built in 1919 to commemorate Afghanistan's victory in the Third Anglo-Afghan War, the arch displays names of participants who fought against British forces.
