Akvedukt u Segoviji

Akvedukt u Segoviji je starorimski akvedukt sagrađen za rimskih careva Klaudija i Trajana (1.-2. st.); jedan od najbolje očuvanih u svijetu. On je najpoznatiji simbol Segovije i ovjekovječen je na njegovom grbu.

Historija i odlike

Izvorno dug 18 kilometara s razlikom visine od 1 km, danas je sačuvano oko 1.200 metara s 166 lukova na 120 pilona na dva kata, s najvećom visinom od 35, 1 m. Izvorno je u padu od 1% donosio vodu u Segoviju s izvora rijeke Acebeda, 18 km od grada. Bio je izgrađen od 20,400 velikih granitnih blokova, bez betona. Kako je korišten sustav hvataljki za podizanje kamenja na velike visine, vidljiva su udubljenja na kamenju. Prema legendi ta udubljena se nazivaju "đavoljim stopama"

Obnovljen je u 16. st. za vladavine kralja Ferdinanda I. Aragonskog kada su postavljene skulpture u središnjim nišama gradskog dijela akvedukta.

Akvadukt i dan danas napaja grad vodom, ali su udaljeni dijelovi zamijenjeni vodovodnim cijevima. God. 1974., obilježena je 2000 obljetnica akvedukta postavljanjem komemorativne plakete, a 1985. godine upisan je na UNESCO-v popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Europi.

Od 1997. godine traje njegova opsežna obnova.

Follow the steps up about half a mile and you will see where the water would have transitioned from underground to a nearby water tower that filtered and sanitized the water.

Spectacular site seeing. A Roman built icon still there... in a time with forced rapid obsolescence, this is a must see engineering marvel
