Built in the 12th Century the Pont Saint-Bénezet originally spanned the 3000ft between Avignon in the popes Comtat-venaissin and Villeneuve-les-Avignon of Louis 7th's France. After many collapses and subsequet rickety patching up it was abandoned in the 17th century when almost half of it collapsed in a flood. It is the bridge made famous by the song Sur le pont d'Avignon written in the 16th Century.
