Length: 8:50
Description: Typical medieval castilian ambience describes Burgos and Segovia. Burgos was founded in 884, and its historical heritage is evident everywhere. It is a monumental town, the capital of the unified kingdom of Castilla-Leon for five centuries, and boasts of a masterpiece of Spanish Gothic architecture, the cathedral of Santa Maria, a World Heritage. Full of charm and history, the city of Segovia is located 53 miles northwest of Madrid. In December 1985, the old town of Segovia and its Aqueduct were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The Alcazar (fortress) of Segovia probably dates back to Roman times, although the first documented record is from the twelfth century.
