The name `Porta Sempione` is used both to refer to the gate proper and to the surrounding district `quartiere`, a part of the Zone 1 division the historic city centre, including the major avenue of Corso Sempione.[1] The gate is marked by a landmark triumphal arch called Arco della Pace `Arch of Peace`, dating back to the 19th century, although its origins can be traced back to a gate of the Roman walls of Milan.
