Comments:
The bridge that connects the right bank of the Seine with the Île de la Cité (one of the two islands in the center of the Seine) is considered the oldest bridge in Paris (this is despite the fact that the Pont Neuf bridge is the oldest bridge that has remained unchanged Click for sign's details).
The bridge has been built many times since its first construction in 886. The current metal bridge was inaugurated in 1919.
The name Notre Dame was given to the wooden bridge that stood there in 1419, and since then the name has remained in all the bridges that replaced it.

The bridge was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image

On the stone arch of the bridge appears the figure of the Greek god of wine Dionysus, and on the end pillars a relief of a ram Click for a larger image
