The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon I as a tribute to the French Army. The monument surmounts the hill of Chaillot at the center of a star-shaped configuration of 12 radiating avenues. It is considered to be Romantic Neoclassic in style. Engraved around the top of the Arch are the names of major victories won during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods. --See: http://www.paris.org/Monuments/Arc/Style/Period
