Big and very well preserved Roman triumphal arch, on a large round plaza with shade trees.
Built during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - AD 14) 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 Germanicus over the German tribes in Rhineland. The arch contains an inscription dedicated to emperor Tiberius in AD 27. On the northern (outward-facing) facade, the architrave and cornice have been cut back and a bronze inscription inserted, now lost; attempts at reconstructing its text from the placement of cramp holes for the projecting tines of its letters have not been successful. The arch is decorated with various reliefs of military themes, including naval battles, spoils of war and Romans battling Germanics and Gauls. A Roman foot soldier carrying the shield of Legio II Augusta is seen on the north front battle relief. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumphal_Arch_of_Orange

The Arc de Triomphe in Orange dates back to the early 1st century BC and celebrates Roman victories. Its reliefs depict detailed scenes from the campaigns. It is exceptionally well preserved and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Roman Orange." Visitors can view the facade up close and study the ornate inscriptions.

It is very worthwhile to sit down on the surrounding steps and listen to the audio contributions with various topics integrated into the seating areas. E.g. the "tales" of a legionnaire, an architect or a stonemason. Great idea!

Historically, it is said to be a city gate, but it is locally referred to as the Arc de Triomphe.
In recent decades, the area around the building has undergone positive redesign.
