Recreating the Medieval Bridge of Avignon

10.29.2015

Today, only four arches remain of the famous bridge of Avignon (southeastern France), which in the Middle Ages, was over 900 m long to cross the entire Rhône river. Following a four-year research program that mobilized historians, archaeologists, architects, geologists and engineers, the first digital reconstruction of this historical bridge was just completed.
