Description

This picture to me shows the innovation that has inspired the world we are today. This is a picture of the Roman Aquaducts in Segovia that have helped with water flow and filtration for hundreds of years. These specific aquaducts have been standing since 300 A.D. and each block weighs around 2000 kilograms. It is incredible that even so long ago, people were carrying out innovative ways and new ideas to help build cities. This is the only standing Aquaducts of the original Roman Empire that are located outside of Italy and bordering countries.
