The Rua Augusta Arch is a stone, triumphal arch-like, historical building and visitor attraction in Lisbon, Portugal, on the PraÃÂ§a do ComÃÂ©rcio. It was built to commemorate the city`s reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. It has six columns some 11 m high and is adorned with statues of various historical figures. Significant height from the arch crown to the cornice imparts an appearance of heaviness to the structure. The associated space is filled with the coat of arms of Portugal. The allegorical group at the top, made by French sculptor CÃÂ©lestin Anatole Calmels, represents Glory rewarding Valor and Genius.
