Triumphal Arch of Vallaresso, 17th-century monumental arch near Cathedral of Padua, Italy.
The Triumphal Arch of Vallaresso features four Doric columns on plinths framing empty sculpture niches, with an elegant frieze decorated with shields and triglyphs.
Built in 1632 by architect Giambattista della Scala, the arch commemorates Alvise Vallaresso's management of the Bubonic plague that affected Padua in 1631.
The marble structure displays classical Italian architectural elements through its proportions, columns, and decorative elements that represent 17th-century artistic preferences.
The arch stands on the left side when exiting the Cathedral of Padua, serving as a reference point for visitors exploring the historical center.
Two coat of arms flank the central inscription at the attic level, which explains the specific reasons for the monument's construction.
