Porte de Mars

[1] It dates from the third century AD, and was the widest arch in the Roman world.

The arch has many highly detailed carvings on its exterior and on the ceilings of its three passageways, including Romulus and Remus, farm workers, and Leda and the swan.

Local folklore says that the inhabitants of Reims built the arch in gratitude when the Romans brought major roads through their city.
