The triumphal arch completed in 1873 to mark Lisbon's rebuilding after the 1755 earthquake, crowned by Calmels' statues of Glory, Genius and Valour. Visitors climb past the Clock Room exhibition on the arch's history to a 360-degree terrace over Praça do Comércio, the Baixa grid and the Tagus.

Good to know
- Pair it with Praça do Comércio directly below; the terrace is small, so go late in the afternoon for the river light.
- Lisboa Card holders go up free, so time it on a card day.
