Sidi M'Cid Bridge
جسر سيدي مسيد
A suspension bridge completed in 1912 that soars about 175 meters above the Rhumel Gorge. It is the city symbol of Constantine.
The Sidi M'Cid Bridge was designed by a French engineer and opened in 1912. It is about 168 meters long, with a deck roughly 175 meters above the valley floor, and was once one of the highest bridges in the world. Walking across it gives you views down into the deep gorge and up to the old city's houses perched on the cliffs opposite. The bridge's eastern end connects to a hospital and to a mountain path leading to the War Memorial. Crossing is free. Vehicles also use the bridge, so pedestrians should take care. Visitors who are afraid of heights can enjoy the view from the bridgehead. It pairs well with the memorial and the gorge walkways.
