Arco augusteo, Siracusa, Roman archaeological site in Syracuse, Italy
The Arco Augusteo consists of two stone pillars measuring 10 meters wide, 6 meters deep, and 13 meters high, constructed with limestone blocks.
The arch was built between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, shortly after the establishment of the Roman colony in Syracuse in 21 BC.
The structure marked the boundary between the Akradina and Neapolis districts, serving as a monumental entrance to the southern access of the amphitheater.
The archaeological site is managed by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage of Syracuse and remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The eastern facade of the arch contained evidence of angular columns, while excavations in the 1950s revealed three rows of elevation on both pillars.
