Only a small part of the Roman aqueduct bridge "Los Milagros", in Mérida, Spain.
The aqueduct supplied water to the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta, today Merida, one of the most import cities of the Roman empire.
A long part of the aqueduct still stands, consisting of 38 arched pillars standing 25 metres (82 ft) high along a course of some 830 metres (2,720 ft). It is constructed from opus mixtum - granite ashlar blocks interspersed with red brick - utilising a double arcade arrangement.
It is thought to have been constructed during the 1st century AD, with a second phase of building (or renovations) around 300 AD.

I've been wanting to photograph this bridge for a while, but i couldn't find the angle to go from. Had to climb down a steep hilll, but I think it was worth it.
The Old Opera in Frankfurt was largely destoyed by bombs in 1944 and only rebuilt in the 1970s. It is now one of the landmarks of the city and a tourist attraction. I liked the advertising column too, you don't see them very often here anymore, and this one even had the perfect colour to match with the blue sky.
L’aqueduc de Roquefavour est un pont-aqueduc en arc en pierre d'une longueur de 393 mètres, et d'une hauteur de 82,65 mètres. Situé sur la commune de Ventabren dans les Bouches-du-Rhône, il sert à l'acheminement de l'eau de la Durance à Marseille et fait partie d'un canal appelé canal de Marseille. Il franchit la vallée de l'Arc, enjambant à la fois la rivière, la route d'Aix-en-Provence à Berre et la voie ferrée Aix-Rognac.
Sa construction, commencée en 1841 et achevée en 1847, a été dirigée par l’ingénieur des ponts et chaussées Jean François Mayor de Montricher et par William Fraisse. D'une architecture largement inspirée par l'antique Pont du Gard, il est près de deux fois plus haut que ce dernier. Il s'agit du plus haut aqueduc en pierre du monde.
Il est toujours utilisé de nos jours. La ligne du TGV Méditerranée passe à moins d'un kilomètre à l'est, et franchit elle aussi la vallée par un viaduc important. Wikipédia
