The Arco della Pace is one of Milan’s most beautiful and historic monuments, standing at the edge of Parco Sempione as a symbol of the city’s elegant past. During the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, it will be the site of the Olympic cauldron in Milan, where one of the two Olympic flames will be lit on February 6 and remain throughout the Games. The cauldron, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic knot designs, will host the flame in a striking glass and metal structure and feature a nightly light show during the Olympics, making the Arco della Pace a focal point of celebration and spectacle in the heart of the city.
