Overview

Constantine takes its name from Emperor Constantine I. Little the
know, it is a masterpiece of history and a show to the sky
open. The ancient capital of Numidia Cirta is surely one
of the most impressive cities in the world. It is built on
a block of limestone. A large canyon splits the city in two and
many bridges were built. Her nickname is: “The
City of Bridges”. The city of hearts that orphaned Enrico Macias,
account of emblematic districts. The Ottoman Kasbah in the
Medina with the Palais du Bey is an architectural gem. The area
du Bardo reminds us of the French presence.

The Sidi M'Cid bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the Rhummel gorges and connects the medina of Constantine to the centre of the CHU.

The El Cantara bridge crosses the Rummel Valley of Constantine. The first bridge with a siphon aqueduct was built by the ancient Romans. A new bridge was built over the ruins and its construction was ordered by Salah Bey in 1792 and entrusted to his Maltese architect Bartolomeo. It was then formed of four stone arches. Site of a failed French attack during the Siege of Constantine in 1836. After the bridge collapsed in 1857, it was rebuilt between 1860 and 1863 as the main metal arch above the two cairns.
