An Iberian settlement preceded Roman Segobriga, settled ca. 19 BCE under the reign of Augustus. Parts of the Roman walls and the gates of S Andr\u00E9s, S Cebri\u00E1n and Santiago remain intact. Under the Moors in the 8th century, the walls enclosed a perimeter of 3 kilometers, with eighty towers and five gates. In 1985 the old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct were declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
