Der Pont du Gard ist eine gro\u00dfe r\u00f6mische Steinbr\u00fccke, die eine Wasserleitung \u00fcber den Fluss Gardon f\u00fchrte. Er steht beim Dorf Vers-Pont-du-Gard im D\u00e9partement Gard in Okzitanien. Das Bauwerk ist ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr seine Gr\u00f6\u00dfe, seine drei Bogenreihen und die Pr\u00e4zision der antiken Ingenieurskunst. Seit 1985 geh\u00f6rt es zum UNESCO-Welterbe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although many people call it a \u201cbridge,\u201d its original purpose was practical: it was the most spectacular part of a long aqueduct system that brought fresh water to the Roman city of Nemausus (modern N\u00eemes). Today, it is one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in France and a major tourist destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pont du Gard is located between several well-known towns: N\u00eemes (about 27 km to the southwest), Avignon (about 21 km to the east), and Uz\u00e8s (to the northwest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warum es ber\u00fchmt ist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Pont du Gard was built in the 1st century CE as part of the N\u00eemes aqueduct. The aqueduct channel ran along the top level, carrying water with a very gentle slope over a long distance\u2014an achievement that required careful surveying and construction. The structure is about 48 meters high and roughly 275 meters long, making it the tallest known Roman aqueduct bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
