The arch was designed by Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as the main entrance to the 1888 World Fair. It is constructed from red bricks in a distinctive neo-Mudejar (Neo-Moorish) style, combining stone and brickwork with ornamental sculptural reliefs. This historic structure is recognized as an iconic architectural monument representing the modernisme movement and Catalan history, serving as a lasting memorial to the Universal Exhibition.
Richly decorated with sculptural details, the arch exemplifies the fusion of cultural influences characteristic of the neo-Mudejar style. It remains an important cultural landmark open to the public, continuing to attract interest for its architectural significance and historical context.
As a prominent city monument, the arch blends artistic expression with historical commemoration, making it a notable example of 19th-century exhibition architecture.
