Pont Tibère, Roman bridge in Sommières, France
The stone bridge spans 190 meters across the Vidourle River with 21 arches, though only seven remain visible in the present structure.
Built during the first century, the bridge formed part of a Roman road connecting Nîmes to Toulouse and served as a vital transportation link.
Medieval urban development led to the incorporation of several bridge arches into building foundations, creating a rare inhabited bridge structure.
Recent architectural studies and 3D scanning have documented the bridge's structure, revealing hidden vaults within adjacent building basements.
The bridge obtained historical monument status in 2018 and represents the largest preserved Roman bridge in France.
