Segovia, a city steeped in history and charm, is home to one of the most emblematic monuments in Spain: the majestic Segovia Aqueduct. This masterpiece of Roman engineering has amazed visitors for centuries with its imposing presence and astonishing technical precision. On our recent tour of this architectural gem, we ventured to explore the splendor of the Segovia Aqueduct from the comfort and luxury of GilsanBus' new Irizar i6 S Efficient.
History and Meaning of the Segovia Aqueduct
The Segovia Aqueduct, built during the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan in the early 2nd century AD, is an enduring testament to the ingenuity and skill of the ancient Romans. This impressive stone structure, composed of more than 25,000 blocks of unmortared granite, rises majestically above the city, stretching for more than 800 meters and reaching heights of up to 28 meters at its highest point.
This marvel of Roman engineering was designed to transport water from the nearby mountains to the heart of Segovia, providing a vital supply for the city and its inhabitants. Over the centuries, the Segovia Aqueduct has stood the test of time, becoming an enduring symbol of the Roman legacy in the region and a must-see tourist attraction for visitors from around the world.
