34 Waterpoort Triumphal Arch in Antwerp, Belgium

When this triumphal arch was built in 1624, it was the passage to the Schelde River from the fortified wall that protected Antwerp. When the river’s quays were renovated in the 19th century, the arch was moved. In 1936, it was dismantled and reassembled again to its current location at Sint-Gillisplaats. Hence, it has earned the nickname “The Wandering Gate.”
