<Pont Neuf

Picture of Gothic stone bridge and a map of Europe. A possible model for the picture on the banknote 50 euro could become a bridge in Toulouse (Pont Neuf, 1632). Feature of this Renaissance bridge is that it is largely built of bricks. Then it was rather unusual, but probably just the builders did not have enough stones. Therefore, only the individual reinforcing struts are made of natural stone.

On left side are the map of Europe and 12 stars of EU.
