Sight 3: Pont de Constantin

Show sight on map

From the earliest antiquity, perhaps even before the Roman occupation, a bridge must have connected the city of Arles to the Camargue. It is impossible today to say what place this first bridge occupied and how it was built. It was probably followed by the first Roman bridge, built in or shortly after the Augustan period. But the Roman bridge, of which some remains can still be seen, dates back to the time of Constantine. It is also referred to as a boat bridge.
