The Old Town of Segovia is located in the centre of Spain, in the Autonomous Community of Castile and Lexc3xb3n.
Segovia is symbolic of a complex, historical reality.
Other important monuments can be found in the property: the Alcxc3xa1zar, begun around the 11th century; several Romanesque churches; noble palaces from 15th and 16th centuries; the 16th-century Gothic cathedral, the last to be built in Spain in this style; and the Segovia Mint, the oldest industrial building still existing in Spain.
This impressive construction, with its two tiers of arches, forms part of the magnificent setting of the historic city of Segovia.
The impressive monuments that survive in Mxc3xa9rida, Tarragona, and Segovia illustrate the political determination, which following the steps of the victorious armies, greatly increased the number of aqueducts which Frontinus described as 'the most solemn testimony of the Empire.'
The Aqueduct is the symbol of the city and can in no way be separated from Segovia as a whole.
Criterion (i): Segovia comprises an array of monuments, which in terms of beauty and exemplary historical significance, are truly outstanding, with the Aqueduct, the Alcxc3xa1zar, and the Cathedral among its major structures.
Criterion (iii): The Old Town of Segovia illustrates a complex, historical reality through its urban layout and architectural developments.
Criterion (iv): Segovia provides an outstanding testimony of a Western city based on a number of diverse, cultural traditions.
The city of Segovia was registered as a xe2x80x9cHistoric Sitexe2x80x9d under Spanish law in 1941.
In addition, all the projects concerning the property must be previously approved by the Commission for Cultural Heritage of Segovia.
Implementing these policies in a coordinated way remains a challenge, and the City Council faces the constant, common problems often found in other historic cities like Segovia (increasing demand of public facilities, residential development, tourist facilities, refurbishment of degraded areas, etc.)
The Special Plan for the Historical Areas of Segovia will need to take this protection of the buffer zone into account and enforce appropriate regulations.
