We report the first measurement at the LHC of coherent photoproduction of$\rho^0$ mesons in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions. The invariant mass andtransverse momentum distributions for $\rho^0$ production are studied in the$\pi^+ \pi^-$ decay channel at mid-rapidity. The production cross section inthe rapidity range $|y|<0.5$ is found to be $\mathrm{d}\sigma/\mathrm{d}y = 425\pm 10 \, (\mathrm{stat.})$ $^{+42}_{-50} \, (\mathrm{sys.})$ mb. Coherent$\rho^0$ production is studied with and without requirement of nuclear breakup,and the fractional yields for various breakup scenarios are presented. Theresults are compared with those from lower energies and with model predictions.
