The Pont Gard is a three-level Roman aqueduct across the Gardon River near the city of Nimes in the French department of Gard. The bridge was built in the first half of the 1st century. as a continuation of the Roman aqueduct, through which water from the source went to Nimes. The aqueduct was used until the 6th century. In the Middle Ages, the building was used as a bridge. In the 16th century the architecture of the Gard bridge attracted the attention of specialists and the government, and since then the bridge has been restored several times.
Gard Bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the tallest Roman aqueduct bridge. It is also the most visited monument of antiquity in France.
Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueducts that have survived to this day, and one of the finest bridges and ancient monuments in France. The name of the bridge is given in honor of the river it crosses - Gard. Now, however, it has been renamed the Gardon River. The bridge is located in the vicinity of the city of Nimes in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, in the Gard department.
This is a grandiose building 366 meters long and 49 meters high, built of stones without the use of lime. The bridge consists of three tiers: 6 arches in the lower tier, 11 arches in the middle and 35 arches in the upper tier. The closer to the shore, the narrower the arches become. This is the last of the three-tiered bridges of Ancient Rome that have survived to this day.
Aqueducts were built at an angle so that water flowed to the right place under the influence of gravity. Thanks to literally the smallest slope, averaging only 25 cm per kilometer, the Pont du Gard provided Nimes with 30,000 to 40,000 m3 of running water per day, supplying numerous thermal baths, fountains, water pipes in rich houses.
