Citadel bridge, Road bridge in Grenoble, France

The Citadel Bridge spans across the Isère River, connecting Place de Lavalette on the left bank to Place Xavier-Jouvin on the right bank.

Built during the Second Empire period, the bridge initially carried the name Pont Napoleon and later supported a tramway line connecting Grenoble to La Tronche.

Artists Johan Barthold Jongkind and Josephine Fesser captured the bridge in their paintings during the 1880s, preserving its historical appearance through art.

The stone structure serves as a central crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians, providing direct access to the city center from eastern neighborhoods.

Near the bridge stands a watchtower from the former citadel, registered as a historical monument since September 8, 1943.
