These are traversed by another line of vaults, and thus rooms, arched on all four sides, are formed.
Down through the axis of the bridge there is a long diminishing vista like a visual echo of piers and arches, while the vaults fronting upstream and down frame the sunset and sunrise, the mountains and river pools.
