Review:
Segovia is one of central Spain's most historic cities, located just northwest of Madrid within the region's Castile and León areas. The famed city, which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, is best known as the home of the beautiful Alcázar de Segovia royal palace, which is cited as the inspiration for Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle.
Other gorgeous landmarks include the Aqueduct of Segovia, which is still used to deliver drinking water throughout the city, and the Segovia Cathedral, the last Gothic-style cathedral to be constructed in Spain. Visitors can view the city's preserved Medieval-era walls, stroll through the picturesque Alcazar Gardens at the Plaza de la Artillería, or explore the city's famed historic Jewish cemetery, El Pinarillo.
