Facts and practical information

The Arch of Titus stands as an enduring emblem of ancient Roman triumph and architectural mastery. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, this 1st-century arch was constructed in 82 AD by Emperor Domitian to honor his late brother Titus and commemorate his victories, including the Siege of Jerusalem.

The monument, situated at the eastern entrance of the Roman Forum, is a testament to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It features a single archway, richly decorated with intricate reliefs. These reliefs depict significant events from Titus's military campaign, such as the spoils from the Temple in Jerusalem, providing a poignant visual narrative of Roman conquest and power.

Standing at approximately 15 meters in height, the Arch of Titus has influenced the design of many modern triumphal arches worldwide, including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Its Pentelic marble façade has weathered the centuries, yet it continues to be a source of fascination and study for historians and tourists alike.

The arch is not only a historical monument but also a cultural symbol, embodying the might and legacy of ancient Rome. Visitors are drawn to the site to marvel at its architectural splendor and to reflect on the events that it immortalizes.
