    This bridge is a textbook example of a medieval fortress bridge. The towers were to defend the entrance to the city. Construction of the bridge started in 1308. Building the bridge took 70 years; this is also how the myth of the devil originated. The builder of the bridge is said to have sold his soul to the devil, but he had come off with a trick. In retaliation, the devil broke down every night what had been added to the central tower the day before. Therefore, during the restoration in the 19th century, a devil was added in the middle tower.

      Very pretty stone bridge but beware, the crossing is worthy of a cobbled area of Paris Roubaix :)
