Some of the creations of nature look as if they were created by the hands of an artist. These include arches and bridges erected by years of erosion and other forces of the Earth. These natural structures can be found all over the world. Here are the most amazing ones.
Landscape Arch, USA
Arches National Park in Utah has one of the largest concentrations of natural arches in the world. The landscape arch, over 88 meters long, is the longest in the park. It can be reached via the path from the Devil's Garden.
Durdle Door, UK
This maritime limestone arch appears to be a gateway to another dimension. It is located on the Jurassic Coast near West Lulworth in Dorset, England. The name Durdle Door comes from the Old English word thirl, meaning to drill or drill. Although the property is privately owned, the arch is open to the public.

Moon Hill, China
A stunning arch near the town of Yangshuo in South China's Guangxi region gives the impression of a moon rising from the landscape. The 50 meter high hole is all that remains of the limestone cave.
Rainbow Bridge, USA

Pont dArc, France
Carved by the Ardèche River, the Pont d'Arc Arch in France is a popular kayaking destination. It reaches almost 60 meters wide and 53 meters high.
Azure Window, Malta
This limestone nautical arch on the Maltese island of Gozo has been popular with scuba divers as well as movie and TV show creators. Azure Window can be seen in Clash of the Titans and Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, like all natural arches, it was subject to time, and in March 2017 collapsed into the sea. By some estimates, her age was 140 years.
Immortal Bridge, China
This ancient stone bridge on the sacred Mount Taishan is called the Bridge of the Immortals. But don't risk it.
Green Bridge of Wales, UK
This nautical arch is located in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in Wales. The name is due to the vegetation that covers it from above. Like all natural arches, one day it will collapse into the sea. Hurricane Ophelia in October 2017 has already partially destroyed it.
Natural Arch (Arco Naturale), Italy
A natural arch on the east coast of Capri offers breathtaking sea views. It belongs to the Paleolithic era and is the remains of a collapsed grotto.
