Monument aux Morts
Monument aux morts
A triumphal-arch-style memorial on the hilltop north of the gorge, overlooking Sidi M’Cid Bridge, the canyon, and the entire old city.
The monument was built in 1930 to honor those who died in World War I. It is modeled on Trajan’s Arch in Rome and topped with a statue of Victory. It stands on the hill northeast of Sidi M’Cid Bridge. This is Constantine’s finest viewpoint, with the suspension bridge, the gorge, and the old city on the opposite plateau all in sight, and it is especially beautiful at sunset. You can walk up from Sidi M’Cid Bridge in about 15 minutes, or take a taxi straight there. Free admission.
