The arch follows a triumphal arch design, which is a classical architectural style often used to commemorate important events or individuals.
Situated at the northern end of Rua Augusta, one of Lisbon's main pedestrian streets, the arch serves as a central landmark connecting two major squares, Praça do Comércio and Praça do Rossio.
The arch is adorned with intricate sculptures and statues. Notable sculptures include the central statue of Glory and the depictions of historical figures such as Vasco da Gama and Nuno Álvares Pereira.
The arch symbolizes the rebuilding of Lisbon after the devastating 1755 earthquake, highlighting the city's resilience and recovery. The various allegorical figures and historical personalities on the arch contribute to its symbolic significance.
One of the main highlights is the opportunity to climb to the top of the arch and access the observation deck. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the surrounding areas.
