History and description
Although the Arco dei Gigli itself still rests on the original blocks made of Travertine marble, the pointed arch is the result of a reconstruction during the Middle Ages.
The right side of the facade on the outside still shows traces of the original Etruscan arch.
The Arco dei Gigli got its name from the lilies of the coat of arms of Pope Paul III Farnese, which adorn the underside of the arch.
