I love arches!!! Not the Golden Arches.

The Ishtar Gate (Babylonian c. 575 B.C.)



Hadrian's Villa (Roman c. A.D. 123-135)






The Arc de Triomphe (Paris, France commissioned in 1806 by Napolean)

That Ishtar gate is incredible. I like arches, too.
I've been to Hadrian's villa. It is amazing what that guy accomplished.
This is not a real arch. It used to be a greenhouse, but this is all that's left.
We were walking around a ruined mansion and came across it.

Grotto of Tiberius, Sperlonga, Italy. You'll have to imagine much of this yourself.



Recreation of the entrance.

Not as old...Stone Bridge spanning the Elk River in Fayetteville, TN. Built some time in the 1850s. Sherman's army marched across it on it's way to Huntsville, AL. Bridge collapsed during a flood in either 1969 or 1970.

Any possibility for an "architecture" sub-folder to be created under "Entertainment" or elsewhere. Nice thread and it would be awesome to be even more architecture-related posts
