The Bridge of the Archbishop is a metallic bridge in Paris, France that crosses the River Seine. The bridge was built in 1853 and provides pedestrian access to the Île Saint-Louis, an island in the center of Paris. The bridge has rich architectural detail, featuring four statues on both sides depicting Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, as well as festive iron lighting. The bridge's entrance is marked with a bronze plaque, which mentions the construction of the bridge and is a reminder that the bridge was created before the Paris city modernized the island in 1880.
