Arch of Peace

Arch of Peace (Sittapinian: Ghamloi La Xanta) is a memorial located at the Khapjokha township of Bruamkutai in Sittapini. It was built in 1978, five years after the Sittapinian civil war had ended, to commemorate the victims of the war. It is a circular arch with a unique pattern, often believed to be old Sittapinian writing. It is one of Sittapini's most renowned landmarks and tourist attractions, and is also a.

The Arch of Peace was designed by Sittapinian Obanacian architect Phalum Ji Nyasu in 1964, which was an unused design originally intended to be a monument in Arahu. Constructions of the monument began in 1976, and was finished in 1978 at the cost of US$1 million (Px 54 million), equivalent to around 4 million in 2020. UNESCO declared the memorial as a World Heritage Site in 2000. It was originally to be built in Naragoti, but was shifted to Bruamkutai. It is depicted on the front side of every Sittapinian pathamxi note.

Aftermath of the civil war and construction
The Sittapinian civil war claimed over 30,000 lives in the Khalothai District, specifically in the small towns such as Bruamkutai. After the civil war ended, there were nationwide commemorations to the victims. A Sittapinian minister planned to construct a monument dedicating to them. Phalum Ji Nyasu, an Obanacian architect, formally permitted the Sittapinian government to use one of his unused designs from 1964 that were intended to be built in Arahu, a coastal city in Obanacia, but all were scrapped due to the 1966 Arahu riots.

The monument was originally to be built in Naragoti, Sittapini's capital. However, to increase tourism in other Sittapinian places and due to the poor conditions, thus requiring basic needs and more recognition, the location of the proposed monument was moved to Bruamkutai in May 1975. It was set to be built in the absolute center of the city.

Constructions of the monument began on August 16, 1976, using white marble, as it was one of the only building materials they had at the time. A few days prior to that, the Sittapinian Nutaderrami mantra, "Xanta phlamken damjaruang tun", meaning "peace will eternally prevail", was repeatedly inscribed on the sketch of the monument. Ji Nyasu supported this decision, stating that everyone regardless of race or religion should live together in peace and love. Initially planned to be finished on December 4, 1977, the fourth anniversary of the ending of the Sittapinian civil war, it was constantly delayed due to tsunamis and typhoons.
