Arco Clementino, Triumphal arch in Ancona, Italy.
The Arco Clementino features two Doric columns on pedestals with a lion protome positioned on the keystone of its single passageway.
Architect Luigi Vanvitelli constructed this neoclassical monument in 1738 during the reign of Pope Clement XII to mark Ancona's designation as a free port.
The arch combines Istrian stone facing the sea and brick construction on the city side, reflecting the dual nature of Ancona's maritime heritage.
Located near the ancient port, visitors can reach the monument by following the coastal promenade or taking guided walking tours through the historic center.
The entablature displays triglyphs and shells of St. James, architectural elements that distinguish Vanvitelli's specific design approach in the 18th century.
