Pont-Saint-Martin

Built around a crossing of the Lys, Pont-Saint-Martin grew into a small town at the southern entrance to Italy’s Aosta Valley. Its defining monument is the Roman bridge, a single-arch stone crossing that carried the Via delle Gallie, the Roman route through the valley towards what is now France. The bridge remains central to the historic centre, where narrow streets follow the valley floor between steep Alpine slopes. Pont-Saint-Martin is also known locally for its annual carnival, which draws on a legend involving Saint Martin and the Devil.
