Description

The Arch of Peace is one of the main neoclassical monuments of Milan, it has a paradoxical history of construction. The arch was laid in honor of the victories of Napoleon I, but the construction was delayed, and in the meantime the Austrians returned to Milan. In 1826, the Austrian emperor Franz I ordered to complete the arch. Construction was completed after his death, by 1838, already under Emperor Ferdinand I. Conceived as a monument to Napoleon’s military victories, it was renamed the Arch of Peace, in honor of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, at which the European powers marked the end of the Napoleonic wars.
