Roman Aqueduct of Segovia

Built in the 1st century, the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia stands as one of the world’s best-preserved ancient aqueducts. Spanning approximately 9 miles (15 kilometers), it cuts a striking figure as it winds through the picturesque Spanish town. Constructed without mortar, the aqueduct’s stone arches and pillars showcase the ingenuity of Roman engineering. Today, visitors can walk along its base, marveling at the intricate stonework and the aqueduct’s enduring function, as it still conveys water from the Frio River to the city.
