Does this arch look like the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome? This arch was made around 1750 was inspired by the arch of Rome. The Arc displays the might of Louis XV with an inscription stating: ""terror of the enemies, maker of treaties, and the glory and love of his people". It contains deities like Ceres, Minerva, Hercules, Pax, Fama, Mars and Apollo. Apollo, the sun god, is of course a reference to Louis. In 1983 was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is definitely worth a visit to enjoy the craftsmanship of the ornate features. Did the Duke of Lorraine, the banished Polish King Stanisława, made this arch to boost the ego of Louis XV and stay in posive favour after he made the beautiful Place Stanisława?

Wonderful
