Segovia
Description
Between the Eresma and Clamores rivers in northern Spain, an ancient city sits atop a long, narrow headland. Viewers of this program will take a journey through Segovia's multifaceted urban atmosphere. Examining the city's spectacular aqueduct, perhaps the best-preserved example of Roman architecture on the Iberian peninsula, the program also showcases Segovia's 12th-century alcazar, its Gothic cathedral, and several Romanesque churches. Other hubs of cultural heritage, such as the Festival of San Frutos, the house of the poet Antonio Machado, and the Esteban Vicente Museum of Contemporary Art, provide additional insight into this urban jewel.
