Segovia was a thriving community long before the Roman Empire conquered the Iberian Peninsula. However, we have to be grateful to Roman engineers and architects for building the most iconic landmark of the city: Segovia's Aqueduct. This perfectly preserved two-thousand-year-old architectural wonder is so delicate and massive that it never fails to impress travelers. Strolling along the streets of the old town with Segovia Free Walking Tours, tourists will find beautiful mansions, visit the unusual Casa de los Picos, learn about the history of rebellions behind Juan Bravo Square, and reach the Cathedral of Segovia. A little further on, tourists will come across the spectacular Alcazar de Segovia, a wonderful 12th-century fortress so beautiful that it inspired Walt Disney himself. In addition, tourists will enjoy a walk along the city walls. And guests will also learn about the key role that the Jewish community played in the development of the city walking the narrow alleys of Jewish quarter.
