Roman arch of Medinaceli, Roman triumphal arch in Medinaceli, Spain

The stone arch features three passages with a central span of 1.90 meters and two lateral openings measuring 1.30 meters each.

Built around 100 AD, this arch marked a strategic point along Roman roads and functioned as both a commemorative monument and city entrance.

The structure displays Roman architectural elements including fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals and decorative moldings across its facade.

Located on a hilltop overlooking the Jalón valley, visitors can access the arch through designated walking paths in the municipality.

This monument stands as the only triple-arched Roman gate remaining in Spain, with its original stone construction using opus quadratum technique.
