Arco dei Gavi

The white stone arch features four Corinthian columns on each facade with a central gate measuring 12.69 meters in height and 10.96 meters in length.

The Gavi family commissioned this monument in the first century AD along Via Postumia, marking the southwestern entrance to ancient Verona.

Renaissance architects including Andrea Palladio and Antonio da Sangallo studied the arch's proportions, influencing architectural designs throughout northern Italy.

Visitors reach the arch by taking a bus to Piazza Pasque Veronesi, located 1.5 kilometers from Verona Porta Nuova railway station.

French military engineers dismantled the arch in 1805, but it was reconstructed using original stones near Castelvecchio in 1932.
