Segovia

Segovia

A perfectly preserved Roman aqueduct is the fitting symbol of this 2 000-year-old city: It?s full of structures from the past performing the duties of the present including many shops restaurants and hotels housed in ancient buildings. The 1 800-ft/550-m aqueduct provides water for most of the city?s fountains. Elsewhere along the winding streets you?ll find a 16th-century cathedral monuments-look for the statue of the Roman wolf suckling Romulus and Remus-and several monasteries. It was at Segovia?s Alcazar that Isabella was crowned queen. The throne room in the castle has a magnificent handcrafted gold-leaf and ivory ceiling. Segovia is a very pleasant city and an easy day trip from Madrid. 45 mi/70 km northwest of Madrid.
