Historic Bridge

The Pont Saint-Bénezet is a famous medieval bridge in the town of Avignon. The bridge originally spanned the Rhône River between Avignon and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon on the left bank. It was built between 1171 and 1185, with an original length of some 900 m, but it suffered frequent collapses during floods and had to be reconstructed several times.
Over the centuries, it became increasingly perilous as arches collapsed and were replaced by rickety wooden sections.
