Pont d'Iéna, Stone bridge between 7th and 16th districts, Paris, France.
The Pont d'Iéna stretches 155 meters across the Seine River with five arches supported by four stone pillars and measures 35 meters in width.
Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the construction of this bridge in 1806 to commemorate the French victory at the Battle of Jena against Prussian forces.
Four sculptures at the bridge corners depict warriors from different civilizations: Gallic, Greek, Roman, and Arab, each standing next to a horse.
The bridge connects pedestrians and vehicles between the Eiffel Tower on the Left Bank and the Trocadero Gardens on the Right Bank.
Prussian forces attempted to destroy the bridge in 1815, but King Louis XVIII prevented its demolition by temporarily changing its name.
