Segovia: Roman arches over the city

A Roman aqueduct marks the approach to Segovia. Its stone arches show how an engineering structure can become a city’s emblem.

Practice phrase: “¿Para qué servía el acueducto?” — “What was the aqueduct used for?” Say it aloud, then try answering in your own words.

Compare the scale of the arches and people in the picture. Describe the structure using alto, antiguo and enorme.
