| Description |
Take here a large view! The Pont du Gard is an aqueduct in the south of France constructed by the Roman Empire, and located in Vers-Pont-du-Gard near Remoulins, in the Gard département. Pont du Gard means literally bridge of the Gard (river). The Gard River, which has given its name to the Gard département, does not actually exist under this name. The river, formed by many tributaries, several of which are called Gardon, is itself called Gardon until its end. Built on three levels, the Pont is 49 m high, and the longest level is 275 m (300 yards) long. * Lower level: 6 arches, 142 m long, 6 m thick, 22 m high * Middle level: 11 arches, 242 m long, 4 m thick, 20 m high * Upper level: 35 arches, 275 m long, 3 m thick, 7 m high On its first level, it carries a road and at the top of the third level, a water conduit, which is 1.8 meters (6 feet) high and 1.2 meters (4 feet) wide and has a gradient of 0.4 percent. The Pont du Gard was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
