Landscape with Pont du Gard, Provence, France
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gardin southern France. The Pont du Gard is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and, along with the Aqueduct of Segovia, one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCOs list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance. The aqueduct bridge is part of the Nimes aqueduct, a 50-kilometre (31 mi) system built in the first century AD to carry water from a spring at Uses to the Roman colony of Nemausus (Nimes). Because of the uneven terrain between the two points, the mostly underground aqueduct followed a long, winding route that called for a bridge across the gorge of the Gardon River

The image captures the ancient Roman aqueduct, known as the Pont du Gard, gracefully spanning across the picturesque Gardon River near Vers-Pont-du-Gard.

Its inclusion on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 further solidifies its importance.
