Exploring Segovia

The thing that Segovia, right outside of Madrid, is known for is it's spectacular architecture. Here are three structures in descending order from least to most famous:

Segovia Cathedral:

This massive building was constructed in the mid 16th century. This catholic church in the center of the square was dedicated to the virgin Mary.

Alcazar of Segovia

This huge castle stands on the top of a large hill. In this way, it is both pleasing and magnificent to look at and to look from. Built in 1120, this castle is even older than the Segovia cathedral.

Aqueduct of Segovia

This large stone bridge was built in the first century AD. The earliest reference to the 94' (28 m) tall wall was in 311.
