The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most impressive surviving engineering achievements of the ancient world. Built around the first century AD, this huge structure transported water from mountain springs into the Roman settlement of Segovia. Constructed from thousands of precisely cut granite blocks without mortar, the aqueduct demonstrates the incredible technical ability of Roman engineers. It remains standing almost two thousand years later and dominates the historic heart of the city. Visitors can walk beneath the arches, explore Roman and medieval Segovia, and continue into the nearby Sierra de Guadarrama mountains for hiking, cycling and camping.
