The oldest structures I think I ever saw there were the Anasazi cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park -- in wide-open country in Colorado. The cliff dwellings are stunning to see. But they were built more than 600 years AFTER this aqueduct.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-27945754375749567812011-10-26T19:34:53.575+02:002011-10-26T19:34:53.575+02:00The juxtaposition of the old and the new is visibl...The juxtaposition of the old and the new is visible everyday in all areas of the UK.

They draw the eye and add such interest to what otherwise might be a street like many others across Europe.<br /><br />The aqueduct remains do look to have been very carefully and sensitively restored and preserved for future generations to enjoy.
