Arco di Portogallo, Archaeological site on Via del Corso, Rome, Italy.

The stone arch featured a single passageway with pairs of columns on each side, spanning across the Via Lata in central Rome.

Constructed during late antiquity, possibly under Emperor Aurelian between 270-275 CE, the arch incorporated reliefs from the time of Emperor Hadrian.

The reliefs displayed scenes of Emperor Hadrian distributing food to Roman children and the apotheosis of his wife Vibia Sabina.

Three major relief panels from the arch remain preserved in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, part of the Capitoline Museums collection.

The foundation of one pier lies 2.36 meters below the current street level, beneath the Palazzo Peretti-Fiano.
