Pont Saint-Bénezet also known as Pont d'Avignon
The bridge originally spanned the Rhone between Avignon and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon on the left bank. It was built between 1171 and 1185, and originally spanned 2,950 feet, but it had frequent collapses during floods and had to be reconstructed several times. Over the centuries its collapsed arches were replaced by rickety wooden sections. In 1668 after a catastrophic flood it was no longer repaired. Now only 4 of the original 22 arches remain.
