Perhaps one of the most awe inspiring and jaw dropping structures we have seen to date is this ancient Roman aqueduct bridge in Vers-Pont-du-Gard near Remoulins. Built in the 1st century AD, the Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is the best preserved. Standing almost 49m high and spanning 275 m and constructed mostly without the use of mortar and clamps the bridge descends only 2.5cm between two banks. It is an incredible piece of Roman engineering from over 2000 years ago. A beautiful museum and 1000 year old olive trees complete this amazing place.
Wow! Beautiful! The light in these shots is amazing.
It looks like (in one pic) that people can go on it. Is that true, and if so did you? Gorgeous btw.
We were there quite late. It turns out you can spent a whole day there, and it is open until midnight.
Yes it is true. They allow you go to about 10m into it, then a big metal gate, so that is as far as we went. They even have a little hole in the gate to put the camera through to photograph the rest.
