Segovia - Acueducto de Segovia
A Celtic castle existed here, from which resistance against the Romans originated. The city was nevertheless taken. Afterward, it began to be built as a Roman city and became an important Roman military base.
In the second half of the 5th century, Segovia became part of the Visigoth Empire. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, Segovia was under Moorish possession. In 1085 Alfonso VI conquered the city. From the 13th to the 15th century it was a royal residence.
The “Aqueduct of Segovia” is a Roman aqueduct. It was built around the first century AD to bring water from springs in the mountains 17 kilometers away to the city's wells, baths and private homes. It was in use until 1974. It was partially damaged in Moorish times, but the damage was repaired in the 15th century by carefully inserting 36 Gothic pointed arches.
