Pont Ambroix

The Pont Ambroix or Pont d'Ambrussum (French for Ambrussum Bridge) was a 1st century BC Roman bridge in the south of France which was part of the Via Domitia. It crossed the Vidourle at Ambrussum, between today's Gallargues-le-Montueux in the Gard department and Villetelle in the Hérault department.

In the High Middle Ages, a chapel devoted to St Mary was added to the structure. Today, only one of the original five arches remains in the middle of the river.
