The Pont du Gard

is a notable ancient Roman aqueduct bridge that crosses the Gard River in southern France.

It is part of a 50 km (31 mi) long aqueduct that runs between Uzès and Nîmes in the South of France.

It is located in Vers-Pont-du-Gard near Remoulins, in the Gard département.

The aqueduct was constructed in the 1st century AD and is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and the best preserved after the Aqueduct of Segovia.

It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985.
