Triumphal Arch of the Lorraine, Neoclassical triumphal arch in Piazza della Libertà, Florence, Italy.
The triumphal arch features three openings with a central passage flanked by two smaller ones, decorated with ten Corinthian columns and detailed reliefs.
French architect Jean Nicolas Jadot designed this monument in 1737 to mark the arrival of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty to Florence in January 1739.
The southern facade displays two double-headed eagles representing the Habsburg dynasty, along with an equestrian statue depicting Francis Stephen.
The monument stands at the northern end of Via Cavour, offering visitors direct access through public transportation or walking routes from central Florence.
In 1859, local citizens gathered at this arch to mock Duke Leopold II during his departure, calling him the second Baby Leopold.
