Arco della Pace

Standing proudly at the northern end of Corso Sempione, the Arco della Pace is a testament to Milan’s rich history and architectural grandeur. This 25-meter-high monument serves as both a symbol of the city and a striking gateway to one of its most beloved green spaces, Parco Sempione.

Originally conceived to commemorate Napoleon’s victories, the arch’s purpose evolved over time, ultimately becoming a symbol of peace – a transformation reflected in its very name, which translates to “Arch of Peace.” Its construction spanned over three decades, finally reaching completion in 1838, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship invested in its creation.
