A reconstruction of the 2,000-year-old Triumphal Arch of Palmyra in Syria is installed in Trafalgar Square, London, on Monday. The reconstruction, which demonstrates advances in technology including 3D modelling and printing, was displayed to raise awareness of World Heritage Week 2016. The original arch was destroyed last year when Palmyra fell under the control of ISIS.
