Pont Alexandre III the most beautiful bridge in Paris.


 Pont Alexandre III the most beautiful bridge in Paris.
Most people consider the 19th century Pont Alexandre III the most beautiful bridge in Paris. It is without a doubt the city's most opulently decorated bridge.The bridge was built at the end of the 19th century as part of a series of projects undertaken for the Pont Alexandre IIIUniversal Exposition of 1900. The exposition took place on either side of the Seine river and the new bridge would enable the millions of visitors to more easily cross the river.Construction of the bridge, designed by the architects Résal and Alby, took almost 3 years. The structure was first prefabricated in a factory and later transported and assembled by a large crane.
