Arco Ganganelli
Atop the arch is the papal coat of arms of Clement, which consist from top to bottom, of a papal tiara flanked by two keys, In the upper register are the crossed arms, symbol of the Franciscan order, to which Clement belonged. Below are three eight point stars over a trimount argent (three mountains), symbol of the Virgin Mary as overseeing heavens, land and water. Along the roofline are further trimounts with eight pointed stars.
To the north of the arch, facing the piazza Ganganelli is the Pascucci Elementary school, built at the site of the former Franciscan monastery. On Strada Provinciale 14, just west is the town library (Biblioteca Comunale Antonio Baldini). To the south is the city hall, designed in the mid-1800s by Giovanni Benedettini.
On November 11, during the Festival of San Martino (known as the Fiera dei Becchi [Fair of the Cuckolds]) held in Santarcangelo, large cow horns are traditionally hung in the middle of the arch. According to the popular tradition, if the horns move while you pass under the arch, then the fidelity of your partner is in question.
