    The triumphal arch was built in 1771 according to a design by the Knight of Arçon. In the 19th century a turret was added at the top. The monument commemorates the reconstruction of the city. Its counterpart, the Porte Saint-Martin in Paris, commemorates the French conquest of Franche-Comté in 1678.

      It is a city gate - triumphal arch in the classical style of the 18th century. It has been listed as a historic monument since May 21, 19701 and dedicated to Saint-Pierre (one of the main apostles) since the 20th century.

      At the beginning of its history this gate was defensive and served as a fortification of the city, then it lost its military vocation and became the symbol of Pontarlier.
