The Arch of the Viceroys (Portuguese: Arco dos Vice-Reis), also known as Viceroy's Arch, was erected in 1599 in Goa, Portuguese India, by Viceroy Francisco da Gama. It was erected to commemorate the discovery of the sea route to India by Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. It was constructed with black laterite stone and stands at 12 meters tall with a statue of da Gama above the key stone. The arch was built over one of the five principal gates to the ancient fortified City of Goa (Cidade de Goa). On these fortifications was situated the Palace of the fortress or the Vice-Reis palace, a lofty edifice that lied directly above this arch. It was the seat of the government and the viceregal residence until 1695. The fortifications along with the palace fell into ruins following the abandonment of the city, and were demolished during the late 1820's. The arch collapsed in 1948 and was rebuilt in 1954. It is now guarded by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as a national treasure and is located alongside Old Goa's World Heritage Site with churches as part of Monument of National Importance in Goa.
