Aqueduct of Segovia
One of the best-preserved Roman monuments in Europe, soaring above the heart of Segovia
About Aqueduct of Segovia
Castile and León
The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most remarkable and best-preserved Roman engineering feats in Spain. Built in the 1st century AD, it was designed to transport water from the Frío River to the city of Segovia, spanning a distance of about 17 kilometres. The aqueduct consists of over 160 arches, with the highest point of the structure reaching around 28 metres. Made entirely of granite, the aqueduct does not use any mortar, relying on the precision of the stonework to hold it together. This incredible feat of engineering has stood the test of time, and parts of the aqueduct are still in use today, providing a glimpse into the ingenuity of Roman architecture. The most famous section of the aqueduct runs through the heart of Segovia, where it crosses the Plaza del Azoguejo and forms a dramatic visual landmark. Its towering arches dominate the city’s skyline, making it a symbol of Segovia and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is possible can walk along parts of the aqueduct, marvel at its grandeur, and learn about its fascinating history at nearby museums.
