Arno's Court Triumphal Arch, 18th century triumphal arch in Brislington, Bristol, England.
Arno's Court Triumphal Arch is an 18th-century stone structure in Brislington designed with classical lines and ornamental details that blend different architectural traditions. The monument features recesses that display replica sculptures inspired by medieval craftsmanship.
The structure was designed around 1760 by architect James Bridges and originally stood at a different location in the city. It was relocated to its present site at Arno's Court Bath House in 1912.
The structure displays four 20th-century replicas of medieval sculptures, replacing original statues of King Edward I, King Edward III, and other historical figures.
The monument is located in Brislington next to a busy road and can be seen clearly from outside. Visitors can view it during daylight hours without admission and the site is easily accessible.
The rear of the structure features an engraved coat of arms belonging to Bristol, which maintains a link to the city's civic heritage. This detail is often missed by visitors despite showing an important local connection.
