49 meters high, the Roman aqueduct bridge is the highest in the world and the only 3-storey antique bridge still standing today.
It took only 5 years to complete this rare achievement for the time, consisting of 3 rows of superimposed arches.
The aqueduct has been classified as a Historic Monument and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
