The Saint Bénezet Bridge in Avignon next to the Popes' Palace is a World Heritage Site and was once the longest bridge in the world. Built in the 12th century, it was abandoned in the 16th century due to constant destruction.

The bridge was built from 1177 to 1185 and was then 900 meters long; today only 4 (of originally 21) arches can be viewed
