Segovia

Segovia

Roman aqueduct and the magical castle make Segovia an essential day trip city from Madrid. It takes around 30 minutes by train.
The aqueduct of Segovia was built during the time of the emperor Trajan in the1st century. The aqueduct is a marvel of Roman engineering and the one in Segovia is one of the best-preserved in all of Europe. 




It is definitely fascinating and impressive to see the wall and to touch it. Just knowing the fact that it was constructed in the 1st century and still perfectly preserved is sufficient enough to be excited. At its tallest, the aqueduct reaches a height of 28.5 meters (93.5 ft) and 823 m long.



The Cathedral

Another great attraction point, the cathedral was completed in the 16th century. It is open to the public on weekdays and weekends. Also, Alcazar is definitely worth visiting which is from the 19th century.



Don't forget that Avila which is a small historic city is on your way between Madrid and Segovia, another lovely city with a great panoramic view of the historical castle walls.
