Arch of Drusus and Germanicus, Roman triumphal arch near Piazza del Mercato, Spoleto, Italy.

The arch features a single opening constructed with large square stone blocks and decorative frames, although only fragments of embellishments remain visible.

Built in 23 AD by decree of the Spoletan senate, this monument honors Drusus and Germanicus, the son and adopted son of Emperor Tiberius.

The eastern pillar displays sections of the original Roman paving of the cardo maximus, demonstrating the urban planning methods of ancient Rome.

Located along via dell'Arco di Druso, the monument stands a short distance from Piazza del Mercato and connects to other historical sites.

During medieval times, surrounding buildings gradually enclosed the arch, causing the western pillar to remain concealed behind construction.
