Place de l'Europe - Simone Veil, Square and bridge complex in 8th arrondissement, France
The Place de l'Europe-Simone Veil spans 58 meters in length and 50 meters in width, positioned above railway tracks near Gare Saint-Lazare station.
Created by royal ordinance in 1826, the square underwent reconstruction in 1895 when railway expansion required its dismantling and rebuilding on a viaduct.
The square received its current name in 2018 to honor Simone Veil, the first female president of the European Parliament and advocate for women's rights.
Located near Europe metro station, this octagonal square connects multiple streets named after European capitals while serving both pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The entire square rests upon a massive viaduct constructed between 1865 and 1868, incorporating both bridge and plaza functions into one structure.
