The site

The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct in Spain, built around the first century AD to channel spring water 17 kilometres down from the mountains to the city's fountains, baths, and houses. Its elevated arcade of 167 arches ranks among the best-preserved Roman aqueduct bridges anywhere, and it stayed in working use astonishingly until 1973. The foremost symbol of Segovia, it appears on the city's coat of arms and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1985.
