Ponte di Avignone. Il Pont Saint-Bénézet, Pont d'Avignon, 1988 Wikipedia: Il Pont Saint-Bénézet , noto anche come Pont d'Avignon, è un famoso ponte medievale nella città di Avignone, nel sud della Francia. Un ponte di legno che attraversa la Rhône tra Villeneuve-lès-Avignone e Avignone è stato costruito tra il 1177 e il 1185. Questo primo ponte fu distrutto quarant'anni più tardi nel 1226 durante la Crociata Albigese quando Luigi VIII di Francia assediò Avignone. A partire dal 1234 il ponte fu ricostruito con 22 archi in pietra. Il ponte di pietra era lungo circa 900 m (980 yd) e largo solo 4.9 m (16 ft)

Avignon Bridge. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, Pont d'Avignon, 1988 Wikipeadia: The Pont Saint-Bénézet , also known as the Pont d'Avignon, is a famous medieval bridge in the town of Avignon, in southern France. A wooden bridge spanning the Rhône between Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Avignon was built between 1177 and 1185. This early bridge was destroyed forty years later in 1226 during the Albigensian Crusade when Louis VIII of France laid siege to Avignon. Beginning in 1234 the bridge was rebuilt with 22 stone arches. The stone bridge was about 900 m (980 yd) in length and only 4.9 m (16 ft) in width, including the parapets at the sides. The bridge was abandoned in the mid-17th century as the arches tended to collapse each time the Rhône flooded making it very expensive to maintain. Four arches and the gatehouse at the Avignon end of the bridge have survived. The Chapel of Saint Nicholas which sits on the second pier of the bridge, was constructed in the second half of 12th century but has since been substantially altered. The western terminus, the Tour Philippe-le-Bel, is also preserved. The bridge was the inspiration for the song Sur le pont d'Avignon and is considered a landmark of the city. In 1995, the surviving arches of the bridge, together with the Palais des Papes and Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms were classified as a World Heritage Site.
