At school we are researching on this subject. It is very difficult because there are many records that there existed a triumphal arch. I was surprised when I first heard it. But this is what little I found online:
near the plaza Uruguaya, was today derruído building the monastery of La Merced, and one of the "triumphal arches" built by Mcal. Francisco Solano López. What I do not remember is whether it was torn down if not for the occupation of army in Asunción (1869 - 1874), during one of the many internal revolutions which took Paraguay during the post-war until the Chaco War with Bolivia.
Here is a picture of the triumphal arch.

A history professor also told me about an arc that was built in the then Republic of Colombia, currently Mcal Lopez Avenue. They say it was done with palms at the time of Estigarribia Mcal, or something. That was a time when Paraguay was at its worst, after the Triple Alliance with its constant revolutions over the Chaco War, the country was virtually disappear. So Colombia stated during this difficult time all Paraguayan go through Colombia, a Colombian would be considered more directly. Paraguay enacted in the same, saying that every Colombian to enter the country would be considered a Paraguayan more. And that remained in effect until Lugo was elected president of the Republic of Paraguay. And so it was an avenue called Colombia, which was renamed after Mcal Lopez. Today, the street Colombia is an unknown street, passing by the market four.
