Talk:Segovia

message: The date mentioned for the walls (built in the 10th century BC) seems very questionable. The castle was begun in the 11th century AD, according to UNESCO, and the first historical mention of the city was in 192 BC, according to worldheritagesite.org.

message: I removed the links referring to Segovia as a province of Madrid this is confusing and completely wrong. Scribbleman your external link is linking to a website selling services. This is against Wikipedia's links policy. I replaced them by the official website of the tourism office of Segovia. (Bernardo2 (talk) 18:07, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The last time I visited Segovia there was a cast iron pipe in the old channel of the aqueduct, presumably used for water. Does anyone have any more info on the use of the aqueduct? Peterlewis (talk) 08:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Contrary to what is stated in the article, Segobriga was never an old name for Segovia (it refers to a different town). It's true that at some point this was thought to be true, but it's a theory that has long since been discarded.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.53.180.186 (talk) 09:19, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

*"One of the best examples of this cultural diversity is represented by the former synagogue, now the church of Corpus, and the Jewish cemetery located in "El Pinarillo" with its interpretation center in the most important Jewish palace of the Spanish aljamas, the chief accountant Meir Melamed, son-in-law and successor of Abraham Senior, chief rabbi of the Kingdom of Castile, Melamed after converting to Christianity under the name of Fernán Núñez Coronel, was alderman of the city and occupied important positions in the kingdom."
*This is the third largest cathedral in the city, and retains the cloister of the second, located opposite the castle and destroyed during the Revolt of the Comuneros in 1520."
::It is unquestionably the largest cathedral in the city; I'm not sure what this is trying to say.
