The Aqueduct of Segovia (in fact the bridge of the aqueduct) is one of the more significant and better conserved monuments of those that the Romans left in the Iberian peninsula. It is probably about the most important symbol for the inhabitants from Segovia, until the point of figuring in their shield.The inscription lack that was located in the loft of the aqueduct, makes that one cannot know with certainty the exact time in that it was built. The investigators locate it among the second half of the century I and principles of the II, in the emperors' time Vespasiano or Nerva. The origin of the city is not known. Yes it is known that the area was populated by the vacceos before its conquest and that there are maybe establishments of troops for its control and surveillance. Anyway, the area belonged to the juridical convent of Clunia.

The poblamiento of Segovia is old. In the place that today occupies the Fortress it existed an I castrate Celtic. During the Roman time it belonged to the juridical convent of Clunia. It is believed that the city was abandoned after the Islamic invasion. After the conquest of Toledo for Alfonso VI of Castile, the king's son-in-law Alfonso VI, the count Raimundo from Burgundy, together with the first bishop of their reconstituted diocese, the also French Pedro of Agen, the repopulation of Segovia begins with Christian coming from the north of the peninsula and of beyond Pyrenees, endowing it of a wide town council whose lands crossed the mountain of Guadarrama and even the line of the Cut.See of the Aqueduct and of the square of AzoguejoDurante the XII century Segovia suffered important disturbances against its governor, Álbar Yáñez, and later on like part of the fights of the reign of Doña Magpie. In spite of these disorders, its situation in the routes of the trashumancia transformed it into an important center of the trade of the wool and of the textile (whose existence is documented from the XII century) factories. The end of the Half Age is a time of splendor, in which welcomes a Hebrew important aljama; he/she sits down the bases of a powerful industry pañera; it develops a Gothic splendid architecture and it is the kings' of the House of Trastámara (already Alfonso X the Sage had conditioned the Fortress like real residence) court. Finally, it is in Segovia where Isabel the Catholic queen from Castile is proclaimed (December 13 of 1474).
