Pont du Gard (Roman Aqueduct)
The Pont du Gard was built shortly before the Christian era
to allow the aqueduct of Nรฎmes (which is almost 50 km long) to cross the
Gard river. The Roman architects and hydraulic engineers who designed
this bridge, which stands almost 50 m high and is on three levels – the
longest measuring 275 m – created a technical as well as an artistic
masterpiece.
