The Aqueduct of Segovia in
Segovia,
Spain, is one of the most significant and best-preserved monuments left by the
Romans on the
Iberian Peninsula. It was likely constructed at the end of the 1st century AD, and transported water for centuries from the Fuente Fría River over a distance of roughly 32 kilometres (20 mi) before reaching the city, only having been decommissioned recently.Photo credit:
