Pont El Kantara

The El Kantara Bridge extends 128 meters across the Rhumel River gorge with a concrete arch structure reaching 125 meters in height.

The bridge site dates back to Roman times, with subsequent versions built in 1792, transformed to iron in 1863, and reconstructed in concrete in 1952.

The name El Kantara originates from Latin meaning bridge, reflecting the structure's central role in connecting communities across the Rhumel River gorge.

The bridge serves as a primary crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians, connecting the eastern and western sections of Constantine through multiple traffic lanes.

Remnants of previous bridge structures remain visible beneath the current span, displaying different construction techniques from multiple historical periods.
