    Highly recommend visiting this landmark in Segovia. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! You can climb up some stairs to get higher to another view of the aqueduct. All of the pictures turned out so nice, it's so pretty from any angle!

    Amazing! Just amazing... we walked several miles of it ( obviously not all 9+) but the height changes quicker than I imagined. An impressive feat and craftsmanship for all these centuries. It really is awe inspiring thinking about what it took to construct, no mortar and the massiveness!

    2 hours wondering though Segovia thinking I've seen all the highlights, then to end with the aqueduct was mind blowing. Sun shining perfectly creating a jaw dropping moment. A must see! Perfect end to a day tour.

    Very cool with great view around it. Highly recommend going to see it. It takes only like 5 mins to look at though FYI

    This has to be one of the top sites in Spain. It truly is amazing that something built by the romans over 2,000 years ago still exists in such excellent condition. Good thing they had the foresight to build with granite. We got lucky with the spring weather and the sky brightened for some amazing photos. We visited as part of a private tour with a guide so got lots of great information about the aqueduct and the town. An easy day-trip from Madrid. Be sure to take the nice walk along the aqueduct going up the hill and watch as the towers get shorter and shorter as you come to the end of this chick of the structure that's at eye level.

    Segovia is a small city, but its impressive for what is, starting with this gargantuan Roman era aqua duct. Its old, beautiful and HUGE! Approximate statistics: 2500 feet long, 100 feet tall, 118 arches, about 2000 years old, and was in operation through the 19th century, though supposedly it could still carry a stream of water. But pictures are better than words...see check them out, or use the Google.

    This is an amazing structure and it is very photogenic. If you go to Segovia is is at the base of the historic part. I would start your tour at the aqueduct and then work your way to the old city and the caste

    The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, built around A.D. 50, is an impressive construction and one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in Spain. It was built to carry the water from the mountains to the city. It's symbol is in the crest of the City and was legendarily said to be built by the Devil. El Acueducto de Segovia has managed to survive despite the lack of mortar holding the structure together. The aqueduct is 813 meters long and raises to a maximum height of 28 meters above the Plaza del Azoguejo. It is made of granite rocks and consists of 166 arches and 120 pillars arranged in two levels. Gayle and I lingered at an viewpoint higher up and at that point, we could actually safely sit on the structure. However, it is a bit hard to take photos as the structure is so massive and impressive.

    The aqueduct's architecture and splendor was the best part of Segovia in my opinion. The fact that it is so well preserved and constructed makes it worth the visit. It's a must-see!

    The aqueduct was built by the Romans in the first century. The whole thing is about 11 miles long but most of it is underground. When it was still working it brought water from the Fuente Fria to the upper/old part of town. What people come to see are the final part where stacks of arches some still stand and support the part that used to carry water. if you walk up hill, you soon come to a modern road that cuts through it but you can better see how the upper part was put together and see the line to the upper city and really appreciate what the Romans did almost 2000 years ago. The aqueduct is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Center along with the old town of Segovia. UNESCO estimates the construction date around 50 AD.

    The best preserved aqueduct in the world! Built like Jenga blocks, each brick is stacked on another. If you pull one of them at the bottom, the whole architect collapses. When you walk up to the stone, you can actually see holes on the sides of the bricks because that's where they clamped it to bring the brick up to the top. This aqueduct was built by the Romans back in the 1st century. FIRST CENTURY?! WHAT?! And it's still here?! I guess that's why it's so well preserved. The best views are actually when you climb the stairs to get the whole diagonal view as well as a beautiful view of the city. Also from up at the top, there is a small water section (fully drained when I saw it) where the water is collected. Another one of the UNESCO World Heritage architectures - be sure to come here if you're in the area.

    Beautiful & free. Over 1000 years old, 24000 blocks of granite, no mortar, 156 arches and nearly 10 miles long with only a little over 1% grade and it still brings water to the city! What else is there to say? One of the best preserved aqueducts in existence and it's why the old town of Segovia is an UNESCO World Heritage site!

    Roman architecture is quite impressive and you don't really get the full effect of the aqueduct from pictures alone. If you get the chance to see Segovia, you will (likely not) miss the Aqueduct as it's right in the main entrance of the 'downtown'. We came early enough in the morning (10-11 am) where the tourists weren't out for the peak of the day, which was worthwhile if you don't like crowds. There are a couple different vantage points to see the Aqueduct from if you follow it along the side and up the stairs, we got several good photographs with the aqueduct behind us and the city below.
