Colossal antiquity
Acueducto de Segovia
It was built around the first century AD to channel water from springs in the mountains 17 kilometres (11 mi) away to the Roman city's fountains, public baths and private houses, and was in use until 1973. At Plaza de Díaz Sanz, the structure makes an abrupt turn and heads toward Plaza Azoguejo. It is there the monument begins to display its full splendor. At its tallest, the aqueduct reaches a height of 28.5 m (93 ft 6 in)
