The Arc de Triomphe with the most human joys and sorrows

There are really many Arc de Triomphe in Europe in my impression The most famous is the Arc de Triomphe in Charles de Gaulle Star Square in Paris Built by Napoleon, the first emperor of the French Empire It is one of the national symbols of France and a landmark building in Paris There is an Arc de Triomphe on the ground square of the Louvre in Paris Known as the Small Arc de Triomphe It is also to commemorate Napoleon's series of war victories Another one is the Constantine Arc de Triomphe at the Roman Colosseum It is one of the most famous historical relics in Rome It witnessed the glory of ancient Rome Today I want to introduce to you the Arc de Triomphe in Innsbruck, the fifth largest city in Austria This Arc de Triomphe was originally built by Queen Maria Theresa to celebrate the wedding of her son Leopold and Spanish Princess Maria Ludovica. It witnessed the prosperity of the Habsburg dynasty in Austria In 1765, the queen built this Arc de Triomphe to celebrate her son's wedding The marble relief above the Arc de Triomphe was built in 1774 Recorded the major events of the Habsburg dynasty The relief on the south side records the wedding celebration of Crown Prince Leopold The relief on the north side displays the sad funeral The queen's husband Franz died suddenly at this wedding This Arc de Triomphe forms a stark contrast between smiles and pain If every building has its own incomparable beauty and meaning Then I think the Arc de Triomphe in Innsbruck is closer to our ordinary life Carrying a person's joys and sorrows Even the majestic Queen Maria Theresa Will also face the ups and downs of the world She brought the Habsburg dynasty to its peak But can't escape the pain of the death of a loved one Cherish every person we love Cherish every travel memory Because the past will always become the past I am three years old who loves to travel Like to remember to follow me
