Pont Saint-Martin

The Pont Saint-Martin stands 20 meters high and stretches 36 meters across the Lys River with a single stone arch design and 5.8-meter width.

The bridge was constructed during the reign of Emperor Augustus between 27 BC and 14 AD as part of the Roman road network connecting the Po Valley to Gaul.

The bridge serves as the central monument of the annual carnival celebration, which commemorates the historical conflict between Romans and the Salassi people.

The structure continues to function as a pedestrian crossing point while offering visitors direct access to the Museum of the Roman Bridge in the main square.

Located at the entrance of Aosta Valley from Piedmont, this bridge marks the starting and ending point of the Cammino Balteo walking route.
