Arch of Constantine

Arco di Costantino

The largest triumphal arch in ancient Rome, it stands on the main road between the Colosseum and the ancient city of Rome.

The second floor of the Colosseum offers a distant view of the Arch de Triomphe Constantine. It is not as grand as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but the fact is that Napoleon built the Arc de Triomphe in Paris after seeing it.

It is right next to the Colosseum, you can see it when you buy your ticket, and you can find a special view inside the Colosseum, a small Arc de Triomphe, a very old ruin.

I only knew the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but now I know that Rome also has Arc de Triomphe, and not just one, many cities have their own Arc de Triomphe. Beijing is probably the Desheng Gate.

You would never think that being in a place such as the colusseum you had the opportunity to also admire the grandeur of the arc of Constantine .. simple beautiful

The Arch of Constantine I, erected in c. 315 CE, stands in Rome and commemorates Roman Emperor Constantine’s victory over the Roman tyrant Maxentius on 28th October 312 CE at the battle of Milvian Bridge in Rome.

Located a short walk west of the Colosseum, this well-preserved monumental arch was erected (sometime soon after 315) to commemorate the victory of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, over his rival Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312. In general design, the Arch of Constantine imitates the century-earlier Arch of Septimius Severus (nearby in the Forum) - the quality of its sculptural decoration, however, betrays the slow degradation that Classical Roman sculpture had experienced in the 3rd century AD. Free to view.

A huge arch just outside the Colosseum, from where you can get great views of it too.

This was undergoing restoration when we were there, but definitely worth seeing. It's right next to the Colosseum and shouldn't be overlooked.
