Nikolai’s Triumphal Arch, Vladivostok, Primorskiy kray, Russia
The Triumphal Gates of Nikolai, given the name “The Arch of the Crown Prince” by townspeople, is located in city’s center near Korabelnaya Naberezhnaya.
The monument’s history begins in January 1891, when the city became aware of the impending visit of heir-to-the-throne Crown Prince Nikolas Aleksandrovich Romanov. The Vladivostok City Duma, upon considering the preparations necessary for meeting their distinguished guest, decided to build “stone triumphal gates” in his honor.
