Le pont de Belcastel

A medieval bridge steeped in history

Built in the early 15th century by Alzias de Saunhac, this magnificent bridge is a remarkable example of medieval architecture.

Originally, it enabled the inhabitants of the right bank to more easily reach the church of Sainte-Madeleine, built at the same time. But beyond its religious function, it played an essential role in facilitating exchanges between the two banks of the Aveyron, once naturally separated by the river.

With its elegant arches and typical structure, it perfectly illustrates the characteristics of medieval bridges.
