A short drive from Madrid is the extremely historic city of Segovia. The city dates back to Pre-Roman times when there was a Celtic settlement on the site. The Romans built the world famous aqueduct and it was used for over 2,000 years until the 1940’s. The Spaniards and Moors added to Segovia with a dozen churches and an amazing castle (El Alcazar). The cathedral in Segovia is huge! It replaced an older church in the 1500’s. I’ve added two cathedral pictures, one from about 1,000 meters away and one from about 2 meters away. :) Here are some pictures of the castle as well. It is a pretty famous castle and Disney use it (and other castles) for the inspiration for his castle. It is also in Camelot; it is where Lancelot saying the ´Tis I song.
