Segovia is a compact Spanish city in the south-east of the autonomous community of Castile and León. It is the capital and most populated municipality of the Province of Segovia.

Segovia is in the Inner Plateau, near the northern slopes of the Sistema Central range and straddles the Eresma river.

The city is famous for its historic buildings including three main landmarks: its midtown Roman aqueduct, its cathedral (one of the last ones to be built in Europe following a Gothic style), and the castle, which served as one of the templates for Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle. The city center was declared of World Heritage by UNESCO in 1985.

The name of Segovia is of Celtiberian origin. Although historians have linked its old name to Segobriga, the recent discovery of the original Roman city in the nearby village of Saelices discarded this possibility. The name of "Segovia" is mentioned by Livy in the context of the Sertorian War.

Under the Romans and Moors, the city was called Sego.
