Arches as architecture, (see the origin of the discipline) seem to originate in the 2nd millennium BC, in Mesopotamia. Used in buildings, bridges, and aqueducts. Much used by the Romans. many different shapes exist for stable arches. One of their merits is that they may be constructed from simple materials, and simple techniques.

There are also several quite natural arches in existence.
