Narva Triumphal Arch, Triumphal arch at Stachek Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The copper-clad brick arch stands 30 meters tall and 28 meters wide, featuring 12 Corinthian columns supporting a chariot with six horses.
Russian architect Vasily Stasov constructed this permanent stone arch in 1834 to replace a temporary wooden structure built for troops returning from Paris.
Eight allegorical sculptures of Peace and Glory geniuses decorate the cornice, while the attic displays inscriptions commemorating Russian military victories.
The arch contains a military museum in its upper hall, which presents exhibits related to Russian military achievements through different periods.
The structure incorporates figures of Russian knights wearing chain mail and helmets positioned within niches along its facade.
