Is currently my favorite city in Spain. I had forgotten how cool the old town wall and the Roman aqueduct are. Also, since it has the exact same vowels as Genovia (the fictional land where Princess Mia rules in The Princess Diaries), you can totally sing it to the Genovian National anthem! ahem. moving on.
This is the cathedral from afar, with all of its cool late Gothic spires. It's kind of ginormous and has a ton of different chapels lining the inside walls, like most cathedrals. Many of the chapels, however, are Baroque, since by the time they got to building them, the architectural styles had changed.
And this is the town wall, with someone's house built right on top of it. Segovia sums up Spain perfectly, with the old and the new built right next to each other.
Or, in the case of the plaza where the Roman aqueduct intersects the town wall, it's the old and the really really old built right next to each other.
