The Aqueduct of Luynes is a Gallo-Roman bridge aqueduct located in Luynes, France [1]. The structure originally stretched 1,825 metres in an almost straight line, with 525 metres of raised causeway supported by arches [1]. Today, the most prominent remains consist of a stack of five arches, making it the most famous Roman monument in the Department of Indre-et-Loire [1]. It is also among the best preserved of the Northern Roman aqueducts [1].
