Constructed during the 14th century, the bridge is a classic example of medieval architecture. It is the symbol of the town of Cahors, and on their coat-of-arms.

 

The Pont Valentré bridge was registered as a historic monument by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in 1998 due to it being along a major pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
