Segovia is most famous for the 2000 year old Roman aqueduct that runs straight through the town. It dramatically bisects the city center creating a stunning backdrop for the bustling plaza. We climbed the stairs on one end of the aqueduct and got a stunning view overlooking the city. The attractions carried on highlighting the presence of the underground aqueduct but we did not follow that circuit. We instead wandered around the main aqueduct with the throng of tourists posing for selfies, relaxing in the shade, or taking a drink at one of the many surrounding cafes.
It's quite amazing that the aqueduct was used until the 18th century to carry water. The engineering is phenomenal and I recommend watching this video if you're interested in learning more.
