Segovia, Aqueduct
The Aqueduct of Segovia (or more precisely, the aqueduct bridge) is a Roman aqueduct and one of the most significant and best-preserved ancient monuments left on the Iberian Peninsula. It is located in Spain and is the foremost symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city's coat of arms.
The Emperor Domitian (AD 81-96) ordered its construction. The beginnings of Segovia itself are likewise not definitively known. The people called Vaccaei are known to have populated the place or area before the Romans conquered the city. Roman troops sent to control the area stayed behind to settle there. The area fell within the jurisdiction of the Roman provincial court located in Clunia.
The aqueduct transports water from Fuente Fría river, situated in the nearby mountains, some 17 km from the city in a region known as La Acebeda. It runs another 15 km before arriving in the city.
