Next, travel to Segovia, declared a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity site, it was a very important military nucleus for the Romans, who left behind a magnificent Aqueduct. The city was chosen for some of Castilla's kings as a summer residence and is one of the best-preserved medieval-looking areas of Spain. Its historic buildings includes three main landmarks: its midtown Roman aqueduct, its cathedral (one of the last ones to be built in Europe following a Gothic style), and the medieval castle, which served as one of the templates for Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle.
