Place Jules Guesde, Marseilles, France
Modelled on the ancient Arc d’Orange, this monument was constructed by Penchaud in 1823 to commemorate the victories of the French Revolution and the First Empire, and as a tribute to the glory of the Republic, the Consulate, and the Empire. With its inscriptions and bas-reliefs, and sculpture by David d’Angers and Ramey, the arch marks the old entrance to the city. Admission: Free
