Porta Sempione refers to the broader area that includes the Arch of Peace and two customs buildings, while the Arch of Peace itself is the monumental triumphal arch. The customs buildings were used for controlling the movement of goods and people entering Milan, making Porta Sempione an important part of the city&#8217;s infrastructure. Historically, Porta Sempione was part of the city&#8217;s medieval walls, serving as an entrance to the city.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The Peace Arch, the architectural monument and triumphal arch, was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807 as a triumphal gate to celebrate his victories. Porta Sempione, on the other hand, refers to both the city gate and the surrounding area (district), which includes the Peace Arch and the two customs buildings. The arch was constructed between 1807 and 1838, with a hiatus from 1814 to 1826. Porta Sempione, however, has older origins, dating back to the Roman walls of Milan. Napoleon envisioned the arch as a symbol of triumph, welcoming travelers arriving from Paris. After Napoleon\u2019s fall, construction was halted and completed only in 1838, when the arch was dedicated to European peace, established after the Congress of Vienna.     <\/p>\n\n<p>Interestingly, in 1859, Napoleon III and <a href=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/en\/galleria-vittorio-emanuele\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"18\">Victor Emmanuel II <\/a>rode through the triumphal arch, which further emphasized its significance as a symbol of triumph \u2013 not only military but also political unification. The monument was primarily made of granite from the Lake Maggiore region and Crevola d&#8217;Ossola stone, which give it its solidity and monumental character. Porta Sempione served as an entrance to the city, being part of the city walls. The two customs buildings were crucial for controlling traffic, and the Arch of Peace was the central element of this gateway, representing triumph and later peace. The columns were made of Creola d&#8217;Ossola marble.    <\/p>\n\n<p>At the top of the arch stands a bronze statue of a goddess leading four horses, symbolizing the triumph of peace over war. Today, the Peace Arch represents unity and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, reflecting Europe\u2019s history in the 19th century. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\" id=\"architektura-i-styl-neoklasycystyczny\">Architecture and Neoclassical Style<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Peace Arch was designed in a neoclassical style by Italian architect Luigi Cagnola and completed by Francesco Peverelli and Francesco Londonio after Cagnola&#8217;s death. The arch is the central element of Porta Sempione, which also includes two customs buildings. These buildings not only had administrative functions but also added a representative character to the entire complex, emphasizing Porta Sempione\u2019s role as a historic city entrance. The neoclassical style featured a return to the aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome, symbolizing values such as strength, harmony, and balance.   <\/p>\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image341_78dfa5-7d:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}.kb-image341_78dfa5-7d:not(.kb-image-is-ratio-size) .kb-img, .kb-image341_78dfa5-7d.kb-image-is-ratio-size{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-image341_78dfa5-7d .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;}.kb-image341_78dfa5-7d img.kb-img, .kb-image341_78dfa5-7d .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image341_78dfa5-7d size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Porta-Sempione-header-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Detail from the top of the Arch of Peace in Milan\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Porta-Sempione-header-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Porta-Sempione-header-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Porta-Sempione-header-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mediolan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Porta-Sempione-header.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The monument stands 25 meters high and is adorned with rich reliefs commemorating significant battles, such as the Battle of Leipzig, and features allegorical figures, including personifications of rivers like the Po, Ticino, Adile, and Tagliamento. It has three arches: one main (larger) arch and two side (smaller) ones, along with eight Corinthian columns. The architectural details, Corinthian columns, and intricately crafted sculptures give it a monumental character reminiscent of ancient triumphal arches, like the Arch of Constantine in Rome.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\" id=\"park-sempione-i-okolica\">Sempione Park and Surroundings<\/h2>\n\n<p>Porta Sempione, along with the Peace Arch and the two customs buildings, also serves as a significant entrance point to Sempione Park, one of Milan\u2019s largest parks.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Arch of Peace, part of Porta Sempione, marks the northern entrance to Sempione Park, one of the largest and most beautiful parks in Milan.

The area around the Peace Arch is filled with cafes where you can relax and enjoy Italian coffee, soaking in the city\u2019s atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\" id=\"zwiedzanie-luku-pokoju\">Visiting the Peace Arch<\/h2>\n\n<p>How to get to the Peace Arch and Porta Sempione?
