Segovia

Last week we went to Segovia on a train. When we got there , we saw an amazing aqueduct that stretched 17 kilometers from the mountains. Once the water got to the city it was transported underground to everyone’s homes .

Next we went to the Alcazar. Inside the Alcazar we went up an 152 stepped tower! At the top there were amazing views over the town.

There was a great armoury at the Alcazar . We saw:

  • crossbows with ivory patterns inlaid in them,
  • suits of armour for knights and horses,
  • mortars for firing flaming rocks,
  • halberd -a spear with an axe head

  2. Wonderful pictures and information too! I wonder what those horses thought when they put on metal armour and had to gallop with heavy men in armour on their backs on hot sunny days!

  3. Wow, what an amazing castle, I had never heard of it before. It is definitely on our to-do list now.
    Hope you are coping with the heat okay.
