One of the timeless symbols of the Gallo-Roman city, it marked the main entrance to the town at Sainte

Like the arena, this is one of Saintes' most symbolic buildings. Built around 18-19 AD, it marked the main entrance to the town, each of its arches corresponding to a particular direction of traffic. Promised to be destroyed, it took the intervention of a former Monuments Historiques inspector to have the Arc preserved. Prosper Mérimée decided to move it, leaving it on the right bank of the river. This monument, one of the finest Gallo-Roman remains, is decked out in color, especially during the festive season.
