Description

This is Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct bridge.
It was constructed in the 1st century AD

An aqueduct is a water supply or navigable channel (conduit) constructed to convey water. . The word is derived from the Latin aqua ("water") and ducere ("to lead").
In ancient times, this was the way people would get water to places where it was needed.. And even now in our time, many places in the world, use aqueducts much like this one, still to this day.



Nîmes, South of France.
