Like we have talked to you, the last 18th of December we attend to the I Conference about Segovia's Historical Recovery and Tourist.
First of all, we visit the new Exhibition Place dedicated to the Jewish quarter of Segovia.
This Exhibition Place is located in the ancient house of the Jew ABRAHAM SENNEOR, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer for the Catholics Kings of Spain (Isabel y Fernando).
We highly recommend this visit. So if you go to Segovia and you have left some time after visiting the Acueducto and the Alcazar, we encouage you to go there.
The Exhibition Place dedicated to the Jewish quarter of Segovia has been thought in a way to be didactic, interesting and amused. All of this is possible, because all the new tecnologie that they allow us to use in order to learn many things about the Jewish culture and heritage, tactile screens, virtual books and many others cool things. The vitual synagogue is really curious and allow you to learn about the Shabat Celebration.
After that, we went to the Academy of History of Segovia, that is located in the ancient church of San Quirce. There we could attend to three interesting conferences.
The first conference was “Segovia and the Aqueduct” and was imparted by D. Aurelio Ramírez – Dr. Ingeniero de Canales.
The second conference was “Aqueducts and Roman Hydraulic" and was imparted by Inmaculada Teixell - Arqueóloga del Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Ayuntamiento de Tarragona.
The third conference was about the Roman Village discovered in Valladolid and the museum that has been created around it and eas imparted by Margarita Sánchez Simón - Arqueóloga del Museo de las Villas Romanas de Almenara de Adaja-Puras. Diputación de Valladolid.
It was a shame that we couldn't stay there for the afternoon's conferences, but the weather was very bad, and we choose to went to Segovia by train using the AVE's and this limited us our time in Segovia.
Thank you to everybody.
