Photographer’s Note
Segovia is a city in Spain, the capital of the province of Segovia in Castile and Leon.
It is situated 100 km north of Madrid.
The old city is spectacularly situated atop a long, narrow promontory. It contains a wealth of monuments, including the cathedral, a famous ancient Roman aqueduct, the Alcázar, and various churches built in the Romanesque style including San Esteban, San Martin, and San Millan. The old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is surrounded by walls built in the 8th century AD, probably on a Roman base, and rebuilt extensively during the 21st century.

Hallo Kris!
An interesting architectural photo. This contrast between the today's functional buildings and these old gems is breathtaking. I like the many many details one can detect here because of the good quality of the picture - a really worth-seeing one!
Greetings from Germany - and have a nice Sunday!
Frank
