Ponts Couverts: A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Strasbourg, France

The Ponts Couverts is an ancient covered bridge that spans the Ill River at Strasbourg's Petite France district of Alsace region. This medieval structure was built around AD 1350 to protect against flooding from the river. It features two robust stone towers connected by a roofed passageway over the waterway. Today it serves as both a pedestrian walkway and tourist attraction where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city and its historic architecture under a clear blue sky.
