Segovia

Segovia is a city of Castile and León in central Spain, on a ridge north of the Guadarrama mountains, and capital of the province of the same name. Originally a Celtiberian settlement, it grew under Rome, whose great aqueduct, probably built around the end of the 1st century CE, still crosses the city. The old town and aqueduct are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
