Princes' Gates, Triumphal arch at Exhibition Place, Toronto, Canada
Princes' Gates is a monumental gateway at Exhibition Place in Toronto, stretching approximately 350 feet with a central Roman arch and nine Doric columns on each side. The structure is constructed in sandstone and limestone, crowned by a winged Victory figure at the top.
The gates were completed in 1927 and inaugurated by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Prince George, giving the structure its name. This monumental entrance reflected Toronto's growth and ambitions during the 1920s.
The central arch displays carved poppies, while a winged statue at the top holds a laurel wreath and maple leaf, reflecting Canadian identity and memory.
The structure marks the eastern entrance to Exhibition Place, where visitors can walk around it easily and take photographs from various angles. Access is unrestricted and the gates are visible year-round as part of the venue's landscape.
Four corner sculptures hold beehives and cornucopias, created by artist Charles Duncan McKechnie, representing abundance and productivity. These ornamental details often go unnoticed by passersby focused on the main arch.
