The Triumphal Arch of Orange. There is debate about when the arch was built, but current research favours a date during the reign of emperor Augustus. It was built on the former via Agrippa to honor the veterans of the Gallic Wars and Legio II Augusta. It was later reconstructed by emperor Tiberius to celebrate the victories of deceased general Germanicus over the German tribes in Rhineland.
The arch was built into the town's walling during the Middle Ages to guard the northern entry points of the town.
