Arco Etrusco

3rd century BCE · 3rd century BCE · Also known as Etruscan Arch, Arch of Augustus

The Arco Etrusco is a monumental gate in the Etruscan walls of Perugia in central Italy, built in the 3rd century BCE. After Octavian took and burned the city in 40 BCE, it was restored and inscribed AUGUSTA PERUSIA, and a Renaissance loggia was later added on top. It is one of the best-preserved Etruscan city gates.
