Parallel aqueducts and milling of Barbegal in Fontvieille with a part of these remains still visible
The largest known concentration of mechanical power in the ancient world, the aqueduct and mills of Barbegal comprised a complex structure, consisting of two parallel aqueducts, which brought drinking water to the city of Arles from the Alpilles and fed a milling plant capable of producing up to 4.5 tons of flour per day. This complex was built at the beginning of the 2nd century and functioned at least until the end of the 3rd century. Some of these remains are still visible.

aqueducs et meunerie de Barbegal: une prouesse d'ingéniosité.
malheureusement ces vestiges ne sont pas mis en valeur et on ne trouve aucune explication sur place.Pourquoi cette grande pente en bout d'arrivée de l'aqueduc
qui arrive tout en bas de la colline pour arrivée dans la vallée? Cette eau qui dévalait faisait tourner les moulins d'une énorme meunerie produisant de la farine. Cela mériterait vraiment des panneaux sur place. on ne peut apprécier que si on a déjà des explications sur ce site sinon aucun intérêt à part les vestiges de l'aqueduc.
