Arco Ganganelli

It was constructed in 1772–1777 to celebrate the elevation in 1769 of the native Cardinal Lorenzo Ganganelli to become Pope Clement XIV.

Designed by the architect Cosimo Morelli, the arch led into town through the via Emilia, and until the early 21st century, allowed cars to drive through.

Below are three eight point stars over a trimount argent (three mountains), symbol of the Virgin Mary as overseeing heavens, land and water.

To the north of the arch, facing the piazza Ganganelli is the Pascucci Elementary school, built at the site of the former Franciscan monastery.

On November 11, during the Festival of San Martino (known as the Fiera dei Becchi [Fair of the Cuckolds]) held in Santarcangelo, large cow horns are traditionally hung in the middle of the arch.
