The Pagsanjan Arch, also known as Puerto Real or Arco Real, is a triumphal arch in Pagsanján, Laguna, Philippines, constructed between 1878 and 1880 under the supervision of Fray Cipriano Bac. Built in the style of ancient Roman architecture, the monument was erected by the townspeople as an expression of gratitude to their patroness, Our Lady of Guadalupe, for protecting Pagsanján from bandits in 1877. The arch stands as both a religious monument and a historic town gate.
