The Arcos del Milenio (transl. Millennium Arches), officially the Arcos del Tercer Milenio (transl. Third Millennium Arches),^[2] is a sculpture by Sebastián, installed in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.^[3] It is located along Avenues Mariano Otero and Lázaro Cárdenas.^[4] It is 52 meters (171 ft) high, weights around 1,500 metric tons (1,500 long tons; 1,700 short tons) and it covers 1,700 square meters (18,000 sq ft).^[1]

It was approved in 1999 by Francisco Javier Ramírez Acuña, the then-municipal president.^[1] The artwork is incomplete,^[4] as it only has placed four out of six arches.^[1] The first three arches were placed between 2000 and 2001, while the fourth one in 2005.^[1] Due to budget constraints and public opposition, the municipality will not continue paying for its conclusion.^[1] Sebastián has asked some private corporations to complete it.^[4]

The arches are commonly graffitied.^[5]
