The hill where Napoleon watched his army

The hill in question, known as Jiesia (Pajesys) hill fort mound, is located in Kaunas, Lithuania, on the left bank of the Nemunas, between the Panemunė and Railway bridges [1]. It stands at an elevation of 63.3 meters [1]. For centuries, it has been known as Napoleon's hill, a name that has stuck since the 19th century [1]. On 23 June 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte arrived at the Nemunas River near Panemunė, where he began reconnoitering the river, from Panemunė to Aleksotas [1]. The operations to cross the river began at 10 p.m. on the same day [corrected]. General Jean-Baptiste Eblé was instructed to build three bridges across the Nemunas, 300 meters apart. The source material suggests that two of these bridges were built to the left of the Jiesia river, one of which was opposite the hill where Napoleon chose to command the crossing [1, corrected: inferred].
