This is NOT a bridge ...

The Pont du Gard was built by the Romans around the middle of the 1^st century BC to allow the Nîmes aqueduct cross over the Gard River in Southern France. (The road bridge in the forground was only added around 1750 to replace a crude wooden bridge.) Three tiers of arches rise to a height of 47 metres above the river. Like most of the Roman constructions, it was built without mortar. It is believed to have taken about fifteen years to build, employing between 800 and 1,000 workers. I was blown away by the description of this engineering marvel in the fascinating wiki article. Read it (and not just the fist few sentences)!
