The Arch of Hadrian is an ancient Roman triumphal arch in Santa Maria Capua Vetere. It was originally a triple arch, but today only three pylons and one of the side arches remain. It spanned the Via Appia and provided an ideal entrance to the city.

In the era of the Roman emperors, it was often customary for such a "triumphal arch" to be dedicated to them after a military victory over enemies of the empire. Of course, like this "Arco di Adriano", it was given the name of the respective emperor in whose honor it was built in what is now Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
