Arco della Pace

The Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace) should have been named the Arco delle Vittorie (Arch of Victory), in honour of the victories of Napoleon in Italy. But, in actual fact, it was inaugurated following the Austrian restoration in 1838. If you go right to the very top of the arch, you have a magnificent view of the Parco Sempione and the Castello Sforzesco, as well as a close-up view of the bronze sestiga (a statue of a horseman with six horses).
