The Gavi Arch or Arco dei Gavi was originally built in the first century AD in honour of a noble Roman family: the Gavi. It was later demolished by French engineers during the era of Napoleonic rule in Italy, with its ruins moved to the nearby Verona Arena.
The Arch we see today is a reconstruction of the original which was ordered by Mussolini. It's now located next to the Castelvecchio. |
