The structure was built by François Blondel in 1672 in the style of the Arch of Titus in honor of the French King Louis XIV and represents one of the most significant monuments of the representative art of the time. The arch of the Porte Saint-Denis served as a model for the far better-known Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, which was completed in 1836, as well as for the Manhattan Bridge, completed in 1909 in New York.
