Located in the Praça Dom Pedro IV, also known as, Praça do Rossio, this arch is still in use for pedonal and traffic usage. It's in good condition, although the pollution of downtown is leaving a mark with different shades of grey and black "stains" on the marble. Marker text quote:
Arco da Bandeira
PT
Fazendo ligação entre o Rossio e a Rua dos Sapateiros, o Arco da Bandeira foi construído no final do século XVIII, segundo um projecto de Manuel Reinaldo dos Santos. Erguido a expensas de Pires Bandeira, de que recebeu o nome, o arco pretendia copiar um outro existente no lado oposto da praça, onde hoje se encontra o Teatro Nacional. Com os seus motivos ornamentais é considerado uma das mais belas peças de arquitectura pombalina.
