The Arch of Medinaceli

The Arch of Medinaceli (Italian: Arco de Medinaceli ) is a three-sided arch of honor, probably from the 1st century AD, located in Medinaceli in the province of Soria , Spain .

The structure is 13.20 meters wide and 2.10 meters deep and 8.10 meters high. It was built according to the reconstruction proposal of an original dedication by Juan Manuel Abascal and Géza Alföldy in the reign of Domitian (81–96), but is generally considered to be a building from the Augustan era, with the range of dating approaches extending into the Severan period. The arch is the only three-sided arch of honor from Roman times in Spain. It is registered as a Spanish cultural asset in the Spanish Monument Register under the reference RI-51-0000350.
