One of the most well-preserved ancient monument in Spain, the Aqueduct of Segovia is the symbol of the city, and its ambassador to boot. Running over 20 miles, the stretch at the Azoguejo Square is perhaps the most well-known. With over 150 arches gracing the square and soaring over 80 feet above the ground, its sheer scale and audacity is a testament to Roman engineering and human ingenuity.

One of my favourite Roman antiquities! Thanks for reminding me.
Such fond memories I have of this place… thanks for dropping by
Aqueducts are some of my favorite architectural structures. I love Italy and ancient Rome, and the colors in this shot are gorgeous.
Thanks! I didn’t know what to expect when I visited Segovia, but it was definitely not this.
I love the composition and the way the modern buildings appear insignificant. Like a an ancient train just ran straight through them.
Standing below the aqueducts made me feel so very small…
