Pont Alexandre III, France
Elegance is the best word to describe this bridge. Located in Paris, construction started in 1896 and finished in 1900. It was built in the Art Nouveau style and is decorated with statues of nymphs, cherubs, winged horses, angels, ships, and vintage lamps along its sides to create one of most decorated bridges in the world. Despite being French, it’s named after Alexander the 3rd, Emperor of Russia, to honor the Franco-Russian alliance. Alexander’s son, Nicholas the 2nd, laid the first stone during the start of the construction. The statues gleaming in gold, bronze, copper and stone compliment the Parisian style of the bridge.

Beautiful bridges and interesting information, thank you!
But the essential point is missing: the Names of their creators, the Architects who envisioned and brought to light these magnificent works! It's not like these appeared out of nowhere!
Their merits have to be recognized every time people see their creations.
Like when you see the Mona Lisa and immediately Leonardo's name comes to mind...
