Trip in historic city of Spain- Segovia / 探访历史名城-塞戈维亚

After Barcelona, we continue our journey in Spain. The next stop is Madrid. We are not hurried to discover the nobility of this royal city, but to look around to Segovia, which has witnessed the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the moors, and Spanish empire, it is the birthplace of Spanish history.

离开巴塞罗那，我们继续着西班牙之旅。下一站便是来到马德里。我们并不急于探寻这座王族之城的高贵，而是把目光放在周边的塞戈维亚，因为那里见证了罗马帝国、摩尔人、西班牙帝国的兴衰，是真正西班牙历史的发源地。

Segovia, with a history of more than 2,000 years, is an ancient city 70 kilometers in the north of Madrid and is famous for its ancient Roman aqueducts. This is one of the most well-preserved ancient Roman project, the Romans built the 700-metre-long aqueduct to drain water from the surrounding mountains as the city's inhabitants needed it. The aqueduct is divided into the visible part with a height of more than 30 meters, and the underground part which is more than 20 meters below. Compared to cars in the picture below, you could see the greatness of this project. Just as the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, it is also hard to imagine how the ancient Romans built the aqueduct without engineering machinery. Even more incredibly, the entire canal was not connected by clay and lime, but was held by the weight of the rocks against each other, which had stood there for over 20 centuries.

塞戈维亚，这座有着两千多年历史的古老小城，位于马德里以北70公里，因为古罗马引水渠而闻名于世。这是一座保存完好的古罗马工程，由于当时城中居民的饮水需求，罗马人修了这条700多米长的引水渠，从周边山上引流水源。水渠分地上和地下部分，地上部分30多米，地下部分20多米，从图中与汽车的对比，就可以看出这座古工程的宏大。就像古埃及人修建金字塔一样，你同样很难想象古罗马人是如何在没有工程机械的情况下修建这座引水渠的。更加不可思议的是，整个水渠没有用黏土和石灰进行连接，而是完全靠石头的互相挤压力来固定，就是这样一座建筑在风雨飘摇中度过20个世纪，令人咂舌。

Not far from the aqueduct, we saw the plaza of Saint-Martin, where a statue of the hero Juan bravo was erected. This respected hero leaded local people against the Roman Empire and was finally killed, but his bravery remains forever in the city's memory.

离引水渠不远的地方是圣马丁广场，广场上竖立着英雄胡安·布拉沃的雕像，这位可敬的英雄不堪罗马帝国的压迫，率领当地人民，反抗王权，最终被俘斩首。但是他的英勇不屈还是永远刻在这座城市的记忆中。

Segovia cathedral is said to be the last gothic building built in Spain. The gothic spires of the whole building are various and quite dramatic. This side of the building that I photographed was the sun-rise side, under the sun, the outer walls and attic are stacked up like medieval fortresses, which are extremely magnificent.

塞戈维亚大教堂据说是西班牙修建的最后一座哥特式建筑。整个建筑的哥特式尖顶样式繁多，十分宏大，我拍摄的这面刚好是早上的向阳面，阳光照耀下，教堂的外墙和阁楼层层叠叠，好似中世纪的堡垒，十分宏伟壮观。

Alcasa castle is a unique stone castle in segovia with three cliffs that can only be accessed through a drawbridge. Originally it was a fortress, and later it was used as a palace, a prison, a royal artillery academy and also a military academy. The blue roof and its total shape of this castle was very fantastic and was believed to be the prototype of Disney's "Snow White castle". The castle looked like a sailing ship from a distance. The towering tower was the sail, and from there you could see the whole city of Segovia and the surrounding fields.

阿尔卡萨城堡是塞戈维亚一座造型独特的石砌城堡，三面悬崖，只有通过吊桥才可进入。这座城堡最初只是一个堡垒，后被用作王宫、监狱、皇家炮兵学院和军事学院。蓝色的屋顶和城堡造型非常梦幻，相传是迪斯尼“白雪公主城堡”的原型。城堡从远处看上去犹如一艘航行的轮船，高耸的塔楼便是船帆，登上塔楼即可一览全塞戈维亚城和周边的田野风光，视野非常开阔，让人心旷神怡。

Wandering the maze of alleys, you can always find some surprises. Just like these buildings, the mottled walls recorded the history of this city, but in the sunshine, it seems that the old man of a thousand years has restored his youthful vigor and came back to his childhood. The past is gone, it is time to move on.

徘徊在塞戈维亚的街头，在迷宫般的小巷中穿行，总可以找到一些意想不到的惊喜，就像这些建筑，斑驳的墙壁记录了历史的沧桑，但是在阳光下，仿佛这位一眼千年的老人又回复了青春活力。往事已成过眼云烟，唯有继续前行。
