The Wignacourt Arch, also known as the Fleur-de-Lys Gate, is a baroque limestone arch located on the boundary between Fleur-de-Lys and Santa Venera in Malta. Originally constructed in 1615 as part of the Wignacourt Aqueduct, the structure was destroyed during World War II in 1943 and 1944. The current arch is a replica, designed by architect Bontadino de Bontadini and completed in 2015, with its inauguration taking place on 28 April 2016.
