(Last Update: 09.01.2026) Although it is interesting that among the 37 bridges on the Seine River, the oldest bridge in Paris is called Pont Neuf (New Bridge), this name always reminds me of the New Mosque in Istanbul. When I was a child, I thought that the New Mosque was a new mosque with the appearance of an old mosque; Then one day I realized how surprised I was when I learned that it was opened on July 8, 1606.
