Here is the #Segovia Aqueduct, located in #Spain, a marvel of Roman engineering built during the reign of Emperor Trajan between 98 and 117 AD.

This aqueduct extends 2,388 feet and rises with 165 arches, each more than 30 feet high, and is built entirely from 24,000 blocks of dark granite from Guadarrama, without the use of mortar.

This construction technique showcases the precision and durability of ancient Roman engineering.

How do you think such ancient structures affect modern engineering? 🤔

However, after many studies of the Segovia Aqueduct by specialists, some information has been confirmed, including that the aqueduct is connected to a spring 17 kilometers away from the city called Fuenfria, and it has 166 arches with a height of about 28 meters.

It is made of giant rocks, and there is no type of cement to strengthen the structure between the bricks!

That is, the aqueduct fought time and weather without anything connecting the giant “bricks”, so the people of Segovia consider that the aqueduct was not built by humans, and that it is in itself a miracle. Some even confirm that on certain days of the year, Segovia’s time changes because the sun rises early! Currently, a statue of the Virgin has been placed in the depths of the aqueduct.
