The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Barcelona that separates Paseo de Luis Companus and Paseo de San Juan. It served as the main entrance to the 1888 World's Fair.

The entrance to the main exhibition area was built in the neo-Moorish style that was fashionable at that time. On the frieze of the Arch, sculptural compositions "Barcelona welcomes the peoples" are carved on both sides, and the top is decorated with the coat of arms of Spain. After passing through the archway, you will reach a long pedestrian alley that will lead you to the Parc de la Ciutadella.
