| Segovia, (Castilla y León) Spain |
One of the best-preserved and most complete Roman monuments still standing today is the aqueduct of Segovia. Until not that long ago, it was used to bring water into the city from the River Frío, located 17 km away. The aqueduct itself, built with unmortared granite blocks, contains 166 arches and measures 638 meters in length.
This monument has always blown me away not only because of its size, but also because of its design and how they went about engineering this magnificent functional structure.
