Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, June 2013






The Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain. Here it is at its largest point, in Plaza Azoguejo, where it reaches a height of 28.5 metres. Variously thought to have been built around 1 AD or between 81 and 96 AD, the ancient Roman aqueduct still transports water to Segovia from the Fuente Fria River, 17 km from the city.

Templo de Debod, Madrid, June 2013


The Templo de Debod in Madrid. This genuine 2nd Century Egyptian temple as brought to Madrid in 1968, donated to Spain by the Egyptian government. It originally stood in Debod in the Nile Valley, not far from Aswan, and in fact was donated and moved to save it from being inundated as part of the construction of the Aswan Dam.
