A prominent city gate of Milan, the Porta Sempione has an elegant triumphal arch which will certainly impress visitors. Known as the Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), this neo-classical arch measures 25 m in height and 24 m in width. As you pass this lovely arch, be amazed by the fascinating varieties of bas-reliefs, statues and Corinthian columns made of marble, wood, stucco and bronze which adorn it. With exquisite bas-reliefs carved out and referenced against major historical events of Europe and Italy, look out for the breath taking work by Pompeo Marchesi, which depicts the Foundation of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia. A gate unlike any other, do not miss the magnificent Porta Sempione while in Milan.
