Pont du Gard Aqueduct

Roman civilizations are among the few to have dabbled in the fine art of bridge construction, as seen by their fixation with aqueducts. Roman aqueducts, which were intricately woven throughout the empire's immense territory and brought water to its far-flung, dry provinces, did so continuously. As the aqueducts had to cross numerous different sorts of natural impediments to be joined, this necessitated building bridges of all kinds.

While the majority of the network has now been lost to history, remnants can still be seen in buildings like the Pont du Gard. The Pont du Gard, often known as the "Bridge of the Gard," is one of the most popular tourist attractions in France. At 155 feet, it is one of the tallest bridges in existence. It consists of three levels, each with many arches, with the top level housing the former working water conduit.
