"The Arc de Triomf is celebrated for its elegant neoclassical design, featuring red brickwork, intricate sculptural details, and decorative motifs. It was constructed as the main entrance arch for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair (Exposición Universal de Barcelona) and served as a welcoming symbol to visitors attending the event."
