The Monument aux Morts in Constantine honors over 800 local soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. The monument, built between 1918 and 1930, features names of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish soldiers inscribed on bronze plaques. Located at an altitude of 695 meters, it overlooks the Rhummel River and the Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge. The structure includes a 21-meter-high arch inspired by the one in Timgad, with a statue of Victory by sculptor Ebstein, a replica of the Roman statue discovered in the Casbah. A semi-circular terrace at the monument offers panoramic views of the Rhummel valley.

A beautiful building that commemorates our fighters. The stairs were long but it was worth it for sure. I would advise you to take water with you before you climb up.

This beautiful monument commemorates the dead Algerian, French and German soldiers from WW1. It’s situated in a beautiful hill that overlooks constantine and that is kept very clean and has benches for people to sit. However I regret seeing all the writings on the walls and i hope coming generations will not act like that. Free parking is available and i recommend to walk down to the Sidi M’sid bridge from there (5 minutes walk)

Good view from up here of the valley beyond Constantine ass well as of some of the towns further along. Can get some beautiful photos. Worth the short hike up from the most northern bridge. People selling food and drinks along the way. Can drive up here as well if required.
