Aqueduc du pont de Crau, Roman aqueduct remains in Arles, France
The aqueduct spans 660 meters with 93 arches made of stone masonry, crossing what was once a marshland area near Pont-de-Crau.
Built in the first century, this Roman aqueduct provided water to Arles until its foundations were later used for the Craponne canal construction in 1587.
The structure represents Roman engineering methods, showcasing architectural techniques through its remaining stone arches and foundation system.
Three sections of the original aqueduct remain visible at a roundabout intersection between departmental roads CD453 and CD570n.
The foundations revealed during 16th-century construction indicated that the original Roman structure stood taller than the subsequent Craponne canal.
