Arc of Triumph, Pyongyang
From comtourist.com/pyongyang-monuments
The Arc of Triumph was erected in 1982 to honor and glorify President Kim Il Sung's role in the resistance Japan from 1925 to 1945. Pyongyang's Arc is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It is the largest arch in the world, and was deliberately built to be larger than the one in Paris like Ceausescu's Unirii Blvd. in Bucharest that had to be wider then the Champs Elysee. Inscribed in the Arch is the "Song of General Kim Il Sung", and the year 1925, when North Korean history states that Kim set out on the journey for national liberation and the year 1945, the end of World War II, which ended the Japanese occupation. The Arc of Triumph is sited on the foot of Moran Hill opposite the Kim Il Sung Stadium.
