Origin and history

The aqueduct of Meyrargues is a Roman structure located in the commune of Meyrargues in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Built in ancient times, it testifies to the hydraulic engineering developed by the Romans to supply water to local towns and installations. Its architecture, typical of the aqueducts of that time, reflects construction techniques and water resource management needs in the region.

Ranked as historical monuments since November 7, 1922, this aqueduct is part of the protected heritage of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use or detailed layout, its classification underlines its historical and architectural importance. It is part of a wider set of Roman remains present in the region, illustrating the lasting influence of Roman civilization in the Nabronese Gaul.

The data available, notably via the Merimée and Monumentum bases, confirm its approximate location near the Arcs in Meyrargues and its status as a monument open to the visit, although practical information remains limited. Its conservation status and possible restorations are not documented in the sources consulted, but its classification guarantees legal protection against degradation or destruction.
