Pont de Saint-Pons

The Saint-Pons Bridge extends 45 meters across the Arc River with four arches constructed from limestone blocks and triangular support structures.

Built before 1320, the bridge underwent a significant expansion between 1746 and 1764, increasing its width by 3.60 meters to facilitate commerce.

The French Ministry of Culture designated Saint-Pons Bridge as a protected historical monument in 1944, recognizing its architectural value.

Located 10 kilometers from central Aix-en-Provence, the bridge connects the Marseille-Apt road, serving as a vital transportation link.

The bridge features three depressed pointed arches and one round arch, with prominent triangular cutwater structures extending to the parapet.
