The constructed Roman aqueduct in century I is the most emblematic monument of Segovia, its function was to bring water to the city from the mountain to 17 kilometres of distance.
The legend tells that they did not construct the Romans to it if not who were work of the same devil. A girl who was the one that brought water to the city all the day, tired of as much walking to go by water, sold its soul to the devil so that the water came directly to its house on the following day. The devil took the word him and began to construct the aqueduct. The girl, occurring account of which had done, said asking mercy the Virgin Maria and is taking pity itself of her, caused that the night was shorter by what to the devil did not give time him to complete its work before it left the single sun by a stone. The stone that lacked to put, is right where is the statue of the Virgin Maria.
