Photo: Sospel Bridge France
The stone bridge spans the Bevera river in the town of Sospel in Provence, France in Europe.
The town of Sospel in the Alpes-Maritimes region of Provence in France is split in half by the Bevera river and united by the stone bridge. The Sospel bridge was built in the 12th century and used as a toll booth. Although it was damaged in World War ll the original materials were used to reconstruct it.This historic bridge of Sospel in Provence, France is part of the main road through the town.
