Arco della Pace
Latest update: 26 February 2022
The Arco della Pace is one of the most iconic buildings in Milan city centre. Situated at one end of Parco Sempione, it was originally commissioned by Napoleon to commemorate the establishment of the Italian Republic which lasted just three years: 1802 to 1805.
It wasn't until 1838 that the 25 metre high Neoclassical structure topped with bronze statues was finally finished. |
