Pont des Invalides, Road bridge connecting 7th and 8th districts, Paris, France.
The Pont des Invalides extends 152 meters across the Seine River, featuring four arches supported by three decorated pillars with allegorical sculptures.
The current bridge, designed by architect Paul-Martin Gallocher de Lagalisserie, replaced earlier unsuccessful structures and opened to the public in 1855.
The bridge pillars display military trophies and imperial coats of arms, connecting to the nearby Hotel des Invalides military complex.
The structure serves as a primary crossing point between the Champs-Élysées quarter and the Gros-Caillou district, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
The bridge pillars feature sculptural groups representing the Victory of Land and Victory of Sea, created specifically for the 1855 Universal Exhibition.
