A 63-year-old British tourist visiting the historic Roman aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, fell from the viewing platform and died. The incident occurred around 1:00 PM local time on Saturday.
According to the Castilla and León regional government, emergency services arrived at the scene quickly, but despite all efforts, the man could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office confirmed the death of a British citizen in Spain on Monday, stating, "We are supporting the family of the British national who died in Spain and are in contact with local authorities."
There has been no official statement yet from the municipality of Segovia regarding the incident.
The aqueduct, still in use today, is located about 65 kilometers northwest of Madrid. Built during the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan between 98-117 AD, it transports water from the Frío River to Segovia.
The central part of the aqueduct features double-layered arches, reaching a height of 28.5 meters from the ground.
