Roman Aquaduct & Valencian Arch

This Roman auqaduct has stood since the first century AD. One photo is
how they turned a corner in it's 9.2 mile run. This was in use as the
main water supply until 1995 for Segovia Spain. Now it is the
secondary supply. I wish some of that craftsmanship had been passed
down to the builders of the Madrid train station where a falling rock
panel nearly ended my life. No harm, no foul!
Last photo is an arch in Valencia that needs repair. I recommend
Abstract Masonry Restoration of SLC and Boston MA.
