Aqueduc de Carpentras, Stone aqueduct in Carpentras, France
The aqueduct spans 729 meters in length and reaches 23 meters in height, featuring 48 stone arches crossing over the Auzon River.
Construction of the aqueduct started in 1720 under architect Antoine d'Allemand, with work temporarily halted in 1721 due to a plague epidemic.
The structure represents a significant advancement in 18th-century French engineering, demonstrating the period's water management capabilities.
The aqueduct remains accessible throughout the year, with specific guided tours scheduled during European Heritage Days in September.
Materials used for construction came from local Caromb quarries, with some arches measuring 11 meters in width and 17 meters in height.
