Once served as a Roman aqueduct in 1st century AD, Pont du Gard is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its great historical importance. Aqueducts were built to aid the flow and distribution of water from its natural sources down to the city’s fountains, baths and homes.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Pont du Gard no longer served its main purpose but it still remained intact because of its secondary purpose as a toll bridge. Built with high precision, the Roman engineers were able to build a structure that stood the test of time. Today, it is one of France’s most visited tourist attractions. This majestic structure also draws the attention of many literary artists around the world.
