Vue Sous La Passerelle De Sidi M'cid provides an unforgettable panorama of Constantine, dominated by the majestic Sidi M'Cid Bridge. Opened in 1912, the bridge spans 164 meters across the Rhumel River gorge, soaring 175 meters above the valley floor. For many years, it was the highest bridge in the world. Designed by French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin, the Sidi M'Cid Bridge connects the Casbah to Sidi M'Cid hill. From this viewpoint, visitors can appreciate the bridge's unique hybrid cable-stayed suspension design, reminiscent of the Brooklyn Bridge, but more than twice as high. The bridge is not only a vital transportation route for vehicles and pedestrians but also a symbol of Constantine. The views extend beyond the bridge, encompassing the city's historic architecture and the dramatic landscape of the Rhumel River gorge. A natural bridge below the Sidi M'Cid bridge partially obscures the river from view. Vue Sous La Passerelle De Sidi M'cid is more than just a scenic spot; it's an opportunity to connect with Constantine's rich history and architectural heritage. The bridge has undergone renovations, including cable replacements in 2000, ensuring its continued use and preservation. The nearby Monument aux Morts, a replica of the Arch of Trajan in Timgad, commemorates Constantine's fallen soldiers from World War I, adding historical depth to the location.
