It is a monument located at the intersection of Paseo de San Juan and La Ronda de San Pedro in Barcelona, Spain. It was built by the architect Josep Vilasica to be the main gateway to the International Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888, and was restored in 1989. The Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona, unlike other triumphal arches of a military character, has a civilian character in order to reach the idea of artistic, scientific and economic progress. The square in front of this landmark is also used as a venue for festivals and music events such as Primavera Sound.
