9 Louis XIV’s France Statue at Pont Alexandre III in Paris, France

Adorning the four corners of the Pont Alexandre III bridge are 55 foot, concrete pillars that are topped with golden statues called the Fame of Sciences, Arts, Commerce and Industry. Below each is a statue representing an important period in French history, like this one on the Seine’s south bank by Laurent Marqueste which represents Louis XIV’s France. It is beautiful but also functional: these pillars are counterweights for the bridge.
