The arch was made in the 1st century AD - as evidenced by the inscription L. VITRVVIVS. L. L. CERDO/ ARCHITECTVS[1] - built by the architect Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo, freedman of a Lucius Vitruvius, to the glory of the Gavier family, not on the current site but on Via Postumia, where the location of the arch is now marked in the pavement has been.

In the medieval Verona of the Scaligers, the Arco dei Gavi served as the city gate and was included in the city fortifications. Sixteenth-century city plans show that the lower part of the arch was below street level at the time and shops had been built into it. (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arco_dei_Gavi),
Next to it is also the Ponte Scaligeri and the Museo Castelvecchio.

If you look closely at the road you will still find the signs of its original position.

Arch located in a small square next to the Castelvecchio Museum.
It overlooks the Adige and allows a fascinating view of the Castelvecchio Bridge
