Arco dei Gavi

Arco dei Gavi is a well-preserved Roman triumphal arch standing beside Verona’s Castelvecchio. Built in the 1st century CE for the prominent Gavi family, it once marked the Via Postumia, a key imperial road. The arch showcases refined classical proportions, inscriptions of its architects, and carved details that reward close viewing. Dismantled under Napoleon and rebuilt in the 1930s, it illustrates Verona’s layered history. Visit if you enjoy Roman architecture, quick historical stops near major sights, and easy photo opportunities along the Adige river and Castelvecchio Bridge. Free to see, it pairs well with a museum visit next door.
