Marble Arch: A Piece of London's Rich History This stunning photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Marble Arch, an iconic landmark in the heart of London, England. Originally built in 1827 as the entrance to Buckingham Palace, the grand arch was designed by Decimus Burton and modeled after the Triumphal Arch in Paris. However, in 1851, the arch was moved to its present location at the intersection of Oxford Street and Edgware Road, following the expansion of the palace. The Marble Arch, made of Carrara marble, stands proudly with its intricate details and ornate carvings, showcasing the architectural elegance of the 19th century. The arch's circular design, adorned with four winged horses and a central statue of the British goddess of victory, Eirene, is a testament to the grandeur and power of the British monarchy. As you gaze upon this photograph, imagine the countless stories that the Marble Arch has witnessed throughout its rich history. From the grand processions of the British monarchy to the bustling crowds of Oxford Street, the Marble Arch has been a witness to the ever-evolving history of London. This photograph, taken circa 1860, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance and architectural beauty of this iconic London landmark. The Marble Arch continues to stand as a symbol of London's proud history and enduring elegance.
