Acueducto - a photo on Flickriver

Acueducto

            The glorious 1st-century Roman aqueduct in Segovia is a wonder of the world. One of the greatest surviving monuments of Roman engineering, this aqueduct stretches from the walls of the old town to the edges of Sierra de Guadarrama. It is about 2950 feet long and it is made of around 20,400 rough-hewn massive granite blocks, joined without mortar or clamps. It is a truly a marvel of Roman engineering!

Until 50 years ago, the aqueduct was still in regular use, but now it is only used on special occasions.
