The arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his victories; but he was removed from power before the arch was completed. It was completed in 1836 during the reign of Louis-Philippe. The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with names of generals who commanded French troops during Napoleon's regime. The arch is located at the end of the Champs-Elysées, in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, a large circular square from which 12 streets radiate.
