Pondel

The Pont d’Aël is a Roman aqueduct in the village of the same name, in the comune of Aymavilles, Aosta Valley. Built in 3 BC, it supplied water for irrigation and for the newly founded colony of Augusta Praetoria, now Aosta. The water travelled through a neighbouring valley, 66 metres above the floor of the Aosta valley, via a sophisticated system; the aqueduct is six kilometres long in total. Originally thought to be a three-storey structure, it shows further unusual features: a control corridor below the water line, and explicit private funding. Today, the water channel serves as a public walking trail.
