To start with, it’s less crowded than Toledo and Avilla. And after dealing with crowded streets of Madrid, this is a definite plus.
But it’s the ruins of the Roman Aquaduct that's the main attraction.

An amazing feat of engineering, most likely built in the 1st Century (98-117 AD), this aquaduct is one of the most well preserved Roman structures in the world.
Then there is Alcazar, the fairytale castle that sits at the top of the city.

And for something truly unique (and disturbing) there is the Ancient Museum of Witchcraft.

Of course, along the way, there is also the Plaza Mayor, numerous churches, and an amazing cathedral to discover.

Segovia can easily be explored in one day. But to get an in depth view of this historic city, it would be worthwhile stay for at least a week. Next time I will. I have already chosen my hotel. It overlooks the Plaza Mayor...
