You see what we learn from each other on this forum. But for me when I visited Segovia it was not the castle or the cathedral that impressed me but the magnificent Roman aqueduct the spanned the town.

One comes around the corner at the top of the hill before entering Segovia and there before you is the most impressive Roman aqueduct you could ever imagine. Built entirely without mortar and looking as though it was put up yesterday.

Here is a Google tour (taken by satellite) of the Segovia Aqueduct. You can move the map any way you want - zoom in or out, go N,S,E, or W.
