The Aqueduct of Segovia, located in Segovia, Spain, is a remarkable feat of Roman engineering and one of the best-preserved ancient monuments on the Iberian Peninsula. Constructed during the 1st or early 2nd century AD, it was designed to transport water from the Frío River to the city, spanning a distance of approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 miles). The aqueduct's most iconic section features two tiers of impressive granite arches, with the tallest reaching around 29 meters (95 feet) high at Plaza del Azoguejo.
