311 ES - Old Town of Segovia and its Aqueduct (1985)

Brief Description

"The Roman aqueduct of Segovia, probably built c. A.D. 50, is remarkably well preserved. This impressive construction, with its two tiers of arches, forms part of the setting of the magnificent historic city of Segovia. Other important monuments include the Alcázar, begun around the 11th century, and the 16th-century Gothic cathedral."

塞哥维亚古城及其输水道
"塞哥维亚古罗马输水道,大概建于公元50年前后,迄今保存完好,令人称奇。这一建筑以双层拱洞为特点,给人留下深刻的印象,成为塞哥维亚历史古城一道亮丽的风景线。在这里,人们还可以参观阿尔卡萨尔教堂,它始建于公元11世纪,完成于16世纪,是著名的哥特式大教堂。"
