Created on April 23, 2009. Taken at the Pont Du Gurd Roman Aqueduct in Southern France.

Romans constructed numerous aqueducts to supply water to cities and industrial sites. These aqueducts were among the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world, and set a standard not equaled for over a thousand years after the fall of Rome.

This gigantic bridge stretches 275 metres in length and rises 49 metres in height. Stunned by such an amazing feat of engineering, the 19th ...
