Triumphant Arch/Arc de Triomphe Orange

One of the greatest attractions in Orange is Arc de Triomphe or the Triumphant Arch. Everyone who has had the opportunity to see this great piece of architecture cannot help but be stunned with the richness of the history that emanates from it. The arch has stood in its place for more than two thousand years, seemingly as the lone sentinel that has been guarding the entrance of the town. Constructed in the end of the BC era, the arch has been inscribed with a series of military themes that commemorate and celebrate the Roman empire and its associated armies. In the arch, you will be able to see the original name of Orange, which is Colonia Firma Julia Secundanorum Arausio, listed along with all its inscriptions.
