Our tour guide walked us around this amazing Archway next to the Colosseum! It was incredible to see how much of this structure is standing after all the time that has passed? Must take a selfie & add it to your memory book!

The Arch of Constantine situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. This is a triumphal arch dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great. This arch was to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312.

This Arch commemorates the victories of Emperor Constantine. He was the last great ruler of the Roman Empire. The Arch is 21 meters (69 feet) tall. It's near the Forum and the Colosseum in the center of Rome. The Arch is intact and impressive.

It's a shame that the Arch of Constantine is located within a stone's throw from the mighty Colosseum, which certainly takes all the limelight away from this ancient Roman arch. Once standing on Rome's triumphal route and still proudly the largest surviving Imperial Rome's arch, it is now standing in isolation in front of the Colosseum, fenced off from the public but sharing the same open area as the Colosseum's ticket office and entrance. Dedicated in AD 315 to commemorate Constantine's military victory over the tyrant Maxentius, this arch has inspired many other triumphal arches, including the more famous and impressive Arc de Triomphe in Paris. At 21 meter high, this majestic marble arch has 3 separate arches and 8 sculpted panels depicting military and civil scenes from the days of Emperor Constantine. Good for a quick stopover to appreciate and admire its intricacies as you await your timed entry into the Colosseum.

The Arch of Constantine sits just outside Colosseo near the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Built in 315 AD to celebrate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge 3 years earlier, it is 21 metres in height and 26 metres in length. This triumphant arch structure features statue topped columns, medallions and reliefs of battle scenes. Unfortunately, the Arch of Constantine is surrounded by a gate but you can still get rather close to this historic structure. Have a look while sightseeing in area. From some vantage points you can take pictures of both the Arch of Constantine and Colosseum.
