Pont du Gard, near Nîmes (Roman Nemausus), France.
This aqueduct bridge, erected in 19 B.C., carried an estimated 30,000 cubic meters
of water daily across the Gardon river.
The entire aqueduct stretched 50 kilometers from the water source near Uzès
to the Roman city of Nemausus.
After crossing the Pont du Gard (at a height of 49 meters), the water passed
over an additional six aqueduct bridges before reaching Nemausus.
