The Stone Bridge near Zovich village or also known as the “Movie Bridge” is one of the most beautiful architectural creations in Mariovo region. It is made of carved stone and prone stone blocks. It has an arc shape, adapted to the configuration of the terrain. In the lower part adjacent to the river on the side of the village, a watermill was built, which until recently was used by the local population. The watermill is also built of carved stone and covered with stone slabs as all traditional houses in Mariovo region.
References:The historical centre of Briançon is a strongly fortified town, built by Vauban to defend the region from Austrians in the 17th century. Its streets are very steep and narrow, though picturesque. Briançon lies at the foot of the descent from the Col de Montgenèvre, giving access to Turin, so a great number of other fortifications have been constructed on the surrounding heights, especially towards the east.
The Savoyards made two raids into French territory in 1691 and 1692. As a result, Vauban was dispatched to inspect the frontier defences, which had been ill-equiped to deal with the attack from Savoy. He returned to the area in 1700 to check on the progress that had been made since his first visit. When Vauban visited Briançon, work on the defences had already started under a local engineer, Monsieur d"Angrogne in 1692.
