The Mina Bridge, a historic monument located in Relizane, dates back to the 9th century, according to the archaeologist Stéphane Gsell. This bridge, which covers an area of about 16 square meters, once served as a passage to connect the ancient Roman city of Mina to the surrounding regions.
It is also known for being crossed by General Bugeaud during the first arrival of the French colonial army in Relizane in 1853, followed by the first settlers. This archaeological relic is made of small stones bound together by mortar, forming an arch that allowed the flow of water from the permanently running Mina River.
The Mina Bridge is located in the commune of Relizane, on the right side of National Road No. 4 towards Oran.
