Toledo by night

The Aqueduct of Segovia – this is thought to have been constructed in the 2nd century AD during the reigns of Roman emperors Trajan or Hadrian

The aqueduct was originally built to bring water from 15 kms away

A last look at the old Roman aqueduct

Segovia is famous for three things – its Roman-era aqueduct, its medieval castle, and this gothic cathedral built in the 16th century.

My postcard photo of the Alcazar of Segovia!  A castle has stood in this spot since the 1100s, and it is one of the castles that Walt Disney used for inspiration on his fairy tale castles.

Suits of armor inside the Alcazar (or castle) of Segovia.  This castle may be pretty, but it saw action in several battles over the centuries.
