Arco della Pace

I went to see the Arco della Pace in Milan. It's a beautiful old monument with fancy sculptures and a big bronze chariot on top. It's in Sempione Park, which is peaceful and nice. The area around it has fun markets and events, so it's a cool place to visit for its pretty design and history.

The area was pleasant and spacious, featuring a monument at its center. There were also football fans present, singing songs, which contributed to a nice ambiance. However, the aftermath of their departure was appalling. The place was littered with empty bottles, plastic waste, and the lingering smell of alcohol, presenting a truly disappointing sight.

Historical gate with a big square around. There are concrete stairs, which can be used as a sitting area that gives a great view on the Arco. There are a lot of (amazing) restaurants and bars around, gelateries, and sweet shops. The place is easily accessible woth public transport tram and buses. From here, you can enter Parco Sempione. The place is wheelchair accessible. I used it as an orientation point.

Beautiful and good walk around the park to get here from the castle. It was a change of pace from the busy shopping areas. Plenty of restaurants and bars around too.

Arco della Pace is truly a hidden gem in Milan! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this stunning arch is a must-visit for anyone exploring Milan. The intricate details and grandeur of the arch are truly a sight to behold. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a picturesque spot for your Instagram feed, Arco della Pace will not disappoint. I highly recommend taking a stroll around the area to fully appreciate its beauty and charm. Don't miss out on this hidden gem in Milan!

Really loved the huge space all around the Arco, and especially cleanliness, art details on it. There's a lot of nice caffes around it, so it's nice spot to take a coffee and enjoy in view

Very nice place and park inbetween the castle but there was some recostruction or concert so it wasnt so great

Beautiful place, especially if you pass a bit further on Corso Sepmiope you will have a stunning view of Castello Sforza trough the arch

A beautiful arch and very popular landmark in Milan. This arch is known as the "arch of peace" and is the gateway into Parco Sempione. It was once used as the official entrance into the park, but now it's known as a notable landmark all on its' own. At any given time, you'll see lots of people around this arch taking pictures and admiring its' beauty. There's also a large pavilion area that surrounds the arch where occasional events are held. I've been to a few other international arches, and this one is very reminiscent of others that I've seen. What separates this arch from the others are the Roman sculptures on the top of the arch and the Roman art pieces etched on the facade. They are truly unique as also quite stunning. I walked through this arch at least a handful of times during my trip to Milan, and each time that I was able to view this beauty made that much more fascinating. When in Milan, you're prone to passing by this arch at least one time during your visit.

An amazing arch with a storied history. Fantastic meeting place next to a park and dozens of shops to eat and have a nice day. Dog parks nearby!

Known as the arc of peace. It was built sometime in the 19th century to commemorate a victory for Napoleon. This as with all arches are most beautiful at night for pics, but lovely to see the detailing during the day. I don't know how many arches I have seen around the world, quite a few, but this one is just as pretty. There was a great attention to detail in every aspect and facet of this arch, it shows and it's beautiful as a result.

I love that it's at the entrance of the park, you can seat and relax and admire this beautiful monument. Again, on weekends they seems to have concerts and it was full of techs and andamios. Better on a weekday.

Peace? This appears to celebrate Napoleon beating the Austrians. Large plaza. A number of people enjoying the sunshine after yesterday's rain.

Arco della Pace is so beautiful in person! We walked from Castello Sforzesco and through Parco Sempione to get up close and it was totally worth it. The two buildings next to it were under construction but hopefully we can come back and see it again!

So this is my 5th Arc - Napoleon sure liked to leave these around on his EU travels! I have seen the ones in India, France, Belgium, Germany and now Italy (Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Brandeburg gate in Berlin, the Arc in Parc du Cinquantenaire or Jubelpark in Brussels, the Wellington Arch in London, and India Gate in Delhi The marble is similar to that of the duomo and I really really loved the sculpture of the horses on top. However getting here was a challenge as I walked what seemed to be endless paths thru the gardens - there wasn't a straight route, with the result that I often ended up in random nooks. One path I took had young immigrant men crowding the route and I got a lot of cat calls # No Fun :( It's a wide open space here for this arch, and might actually be one of the few that is located in a park and not part of city traffic patterns. I enjoyed checking it out, and can see why it's a fave place of the locals to hang out.
