Triumphal Arch of Vác, Late-Baroque triumphal arch in Vác, Hungary.
The Triumphal Arch of Vác rises 20 meters high and features ornate reliefs depicting members of the royal family on both its city-facing and Kisvác-facing sides.
Bishop Migazzi commissioned architect Isidore Canevale to design and construct this monumental arch in 1764 to commemorate the visit of Empress Maria Theresa.
The structure displays a combination of late-Baroque and neo-Classical architectural elements, with decorated eagles holding flowers atop the arch and detailed royal family reliefs.
Located on Köztársaság Road at coordinates 47.783667, 19.122139, this architectural monument stands as a prominent entrance point to the city of Vác.
When Maria Theresa learned the arch was built in just five months, she decided to walk past it rather than ride through as originally planned.
