About
The Aqueduct of Segovia, known in Spanish as the Acueducto de Segovia, is a Roman monument in the city of Segovia, in the Castile and León region of Spain. It stands in the Plaza del Azoguejo, where visitors can approach it on foot from the centre of town.
Built in the 1st century AD, the aqueduct is an engineering achievement that was constructed without mortar, its stone blocks held in place by their own weight and fit. Its arches rise in two tiers across the plaza, and the structure is one of the best-preserved Roman works in Spain. The facts available describe a channel that stretches over 15 km, though most visitors experience only the striking section that crosses the town.
What a visit offers
- A close look at the arches and the dry-stone construction, which is most impressive from the ground beneath them.
- A chance to see a Roman work still standing in an active urban setting, with everyday life flowing around it.
- A natural starting point for exploring the rest of Segovia's old quarter, reached by walking from the plaza.
Planning your trip
The monument is open-air and sits in a public square, so a visit suits a short stop or a longer walk through the city. Because the plaza is central, it pairs easily with other sights in Segovia. For current details, the site can be reached by telephone at +34 921 466 720.
