Inhabited by the Celts it was conquered by the Romans in 80 BC and converted into an important military base in the area. Each era has left its mark and character on Segovia resulting in a city longed to be discovered by travelers to this pretty part of Spain.

Segovia's structure is medieval with winding and narrow streets with inherited influence by the Jewish, Muslim and Christian cultures. All this together has made Segovia one the most beautiful and monumental cities in Spain.

It was built during the age if the Flavios between the second half the first century and the start of the second century ( although no actual date was recorded in Roman sources ) , overseen by the emperors Vespasiano and Trajano it was built to transport water from the River Acebeda.
