The Arc de Triomf is a triumphal arch in Barcelona's Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera district, designed by architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as the ceremonial gateway to the 1888 Barcelona World Fair. Built in 1910 in the neo-Mudéjar style, this 29.8-meter structure features decorative maiolica and brick detailing set against limestone, reflecting the ornamental vocabulary of medieval Islamic architecture adapted for modern civic purposes. The arch spans the Passeig de Lluís Companys at its northern end, facing the Passeig de Sant Joan and providing a monumental entrance to Ciutadella Park, which now occupies the fair's former site. Recognized as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, it stands as a landmark of Barcelona's turn-of-the-century public art and urban planning.
