#Italy - Milan Porta Semione

This seems to have more than a passing resemblance to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin? Porta Sempione ("Sempione Gate") is a city gate of MilanItaly. The name "Porta Sempione" is used both to refer to the gate proper and to the surrounding district ("quartiere"), a part of the Zone 1 division (the historic city centre), including the major avenue of Corso Sempione.[1] The gate is marked by a landmark triumphal arch called Arco della Pace ("Arch of Peace"), dating back to the 19th century, although its origins can be traced back to a gate of the Roman walls of Milan.
