Description
This one & only Triumphal Arch of Milan is dating back to the beginning of the XIX century and represents one of the key-moments of the history of this city. Celebratory and symbolic, Arco della Pace is a landmark commemorating a sumptuous and lavish presence of Napoleon. Did you know that Milan had been under the French domination for some years? Indeed! From 1796 till 1815 it was invaded by the legendary Buonaparte and his great army. This short but intense occupation period had brought to the city a number of architectural achievements. And Arco della Pace founded in 1807 is perhaps the most representative of them.
