Ancien Pont
Cotonou Lagoon, Benin
The Ancien Pont, or “Old Bridge,” is one of the most historic landmarks in Cotonou, Benin.
Built in 1928, it was the first bridge to cross the Cotonou Lagoon, linking the city’s western port area with the eastern district of Akpakpa and playing a major role in the growth and development of the city. Stretching across the lagoon near the Atlantic coast, the bridge offers scenic views of the water, fishing boats, and the surrounding urban landscape.
Although it has undergone renovations over the years, it remains an important symbol of Cotonou’s history and transportation network, reflecting the city’s transformation from a small coastal settlement into Benin’s economic capital.
