Segovia, located in Castile and León, is a historical and artistic city of great importance, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. Its history dates back to Roman times, as demonstrated by the imposing Aqueduct, an engineering masterpiece built in the 1st or 2nd century AD.
During the Middle Ages, Segovia was an important cultural and economic enclave, noted for its textile industry and as the setting for historic events, such as the proclamation of Isabella the Catholic in 1474. Its Jewish quarter and numerous Romanesque churches were also developed during this period.
Its architectural landmarks include the Cathedral of Santa María, a late Gothic jewel known as the "Lady of Cathedrals", and the Alcázar of Segovia, a medieval fortress that combines Romanesque, Gothic and Mudejar styles. Both monuments, together with the Aqueduct, form part of a unique urban landscape that reflects the different stages of its history.
