Taq Kasra, also transcribed as Taq-i Kisra or Taq-e Kesra or Ayvan-e Kesra , meaning Iwan of Khosrow) are the remains of a Sasanian-era Persian monument, dated to the c. 3rd to 6th-centuries, which is sometimes called the Arch of Ctesiphon. It is located near the modern town of al-Mada'in, Iraq. It was the facade of the main palace in Ctesiphon, and is the only visible remaining structure of the ancient capital city. The archway is considered a landmark in the history of architecture, and is the second largest single-span vault of unreinforced brickwork in the world.
