arch, landmark, place with historical importance, historic landmark
A historical landmark of the city and the city's identity. Patterned after the Arc de Triomphe of Paris under the commission of Arcadio Arambulo, it was formerly known as the "Bantayang Bato" and was originally located beside the Santa Rosa River circa 1859 and 1860, before transferring to its present location in 1925. It was built as a replacement to an old guard tower which was used by the Spanish colonial
authorities to guard the city from bandits. Local sculptor David Dia was commissioned to renovate the arch in 1931, during the tenure of then-municipal mayor Jose Zavalla.
