Pont Reals de l'Orb

The Pont Reals de l'Orb combines five stone vaults of 13 meters on the left bank with a 50-meter metal arch connecting to another vault.

The bridge was constructed in the late 19th century to establish a crucial connection between the communities of Murviel-lès-Béziers and Cessenon-sur-Orb.

The bridge structure represents the engineering capabilities of the 19th century, showcasing a combination of traditional stone masonry and industrial metal architecture.

The D36 road crosses the Orb River via this bridge, providing an essential transportation link for residents and visitors between the two neighboring municipalities.

The bridge's distinctive design incorporates different architectural elements, with stone vaults on both banks connected by a central metal arch spanning the river.
