Pont d'Avignon, also known as the Pont Saint-Bénézet, is a famous medieval bridge located in the city of Avignon, France. The bridge spans the Rhône River and is a popular tourist attraction due to its rich history and unique architecture.
The bridge was originally built in the 12th century and was used as a vital transportation route for merchants and pilgrims traveling to and from Avignon. However, due to frequent flooding and damage from wars, the bridge was eventually abandoned in the 17th century. Today, only four of the original 22 arches remain standing, giving visitors a glimpse into the bridge's former glory.
The bridge's most notable feature is its chapel, which was built in the 14th century and dedicated to Saint Bénézet, a shepherd boy who is said to have received divine guidance to build the bridge. The chapel is a beautiful example of Gothic architecture and features stunning stained glass windows and intricate carvings.
Visitors to Pont d'Avignon can take a guided tour of the bridge and chapel, learning about the history and legends surrounding the structure. The bridge also offers stunning views of the Rhône River and the surrounding countryside, making it a popular spot for photography.
Overall, Pont d'Avignon is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Avignon. Its rich history, unique architecture, and stunning views make it a true gem of the city.
