History
As a commemoration of the cession of Kuala Lumpur to the federal government to form a Federal Territory by Selangor, the building of the arch was commissioned by the late Sultan of Selangor, Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah on 1 February 1974. This arch symbolises the sacrifice of the Selangor state to the federal government. This arch was completed on 1981 and was officially opened by the late Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz of Selangor on 3 January 1982.
Architecture
The arch's design incorporates influences from Moorish architecture, and shares a similar design with nearby Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. This can be seen in the domes on the arch.
Kota Darul Ehsan also features two cannons on each face of the arch.
