The Roman Aquaducts
The Pont to Gard was built in the first century AD. It is a bridge which was part of the Nimes aqueduct which supplied water to the city of Nemausus (Nimes) and is named after the district where it is located, the Gard département, in southern France. It crosses the Gardon River.
The bridge has three rows of arches on top of each other to reach the desired height. The Romans were the first people to make widespread use of the arch. Arches have been found in other civilisations, but were rare. The structural strength of the arch enabled the building of structures such as the Pont du grand.
Yes, the Pont du Gard is still in use today, primarily as a pedestrian bridge and a popular tourist attraction. While it was originally built in the first century AD as an aqueduct to transport water, it now serves as a historical site where visitors can appreciate its architectural significance and enjoy the surrounding natural scenery. The bridge is well-preserved and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Samuel Francis du Pont was born on September 27, 1803.
