500 years at their feet

W ho watches us from above?

On March 21, 1520, two statues representing Virgin Mary and Saint Sebastian, patron of coinmakers, were placed in the niches that the Segovia aqueduct has in its most prominent area.

Their choice was not accidental. Antonio de la Jardina, the metal assayer of the Royal Segovia Mint, established by Spanish king Enrique the 4th in 1455, was the one who carried out, at his expense, that project out of his devotion to the Mother of God and his patron saint.

Now, 3D technology allows us to open this window to the past that will take us directly to that fundamental moment in the history of the city.
