Bucuresti, Arcul de Triumf

Looks familiar?  Wikipedia as always provides guidance, and we’ve abridged:  “Arcul de Triumf is a triumphal arch located on the Kiseleff Road.  Designed by Petre Antonescu, it was built in 1921–22, renovated in 1935–36, and renovated again starting in 2014. It commemorates Romania’s victory in the First World War and the coronation of King Ferdinand I and his wife Marie.  The first, wooden, triumphal arch was built hurriedly, after Romania gained its independence (1878), so that the victorious troops could march under it.”  This card was not postally used but has a sticker and many club signatures on the reverse.  Grade: 4
