Why did Spain have Romanesque aqueducts

1. In the 2nd century B.C., Rome conquered Greece, Carthage, Macedonia, Spain, and parts of Western Asia, and the Roman rulers competed to build magnificent buildings and public facilities in order to show their majesty and the prosperity of the country.

2. Roman Aqueduct of Segovia (53 117 AD) The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, Spain was built in the time of Trajan the Great (53 117 AD). The Romans built the aqueduct to bring water from the Flio River, 18 kilometers away, to the city, and an aqueduct had to be erected to cross the Clamor River. The aqueduct is made of dry brickwork of earthy yellow granite (without mortar), which is exceptionally strong and still directs the flow of water to this day.

The aqueduct is 813 meters long, divided into two levels, and has a maximum height of 29 meters above the ground. Of the original 167 chain arches, 36 of which were destroyed by the Arab kings of Toledo in 1072, were converted into pointed square arches in the 15th century. In 1929-1930, the top was rebuilt into a cement trough, and the original was greatly damaged.

3. The ancient Roman aqueduct of Segovia, a stunning double-arched building embedded in the magnificent ancient city, has become a symbol of the pride of Segovia, on June 25, 1974, the Spanish Post issued a set of 8 stamps "The Mutual Relations between Ancient Rome and Spain", one of which is the Segovia Aqueduct. In 1985, the United Nations listed it as a World Heritage Site. On October 6, 2000, the United Nations issued a set of 6 stamps for "World Heritage in Spain", one of which is the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia.

Charlemagne conquered much of present-day Europe around 800 AD.

But the Spanish aqueduct has nothing to do with it.

"Rome continued to fight to become the hegemon of the Mediterranean"Refers to the period of Alexander the Great, during which he conquered all the countries along the Mediterranean coast (some only the coastal parts).

Spain had Romanesque aqueduct bridges, which were built for water transport when Spain was part of Rome. So it's Romanesque.

It should have been when Caesar was there. Spain and so on.

The ancient Roman aqueduct was made of granite from the Guadalama Mountains, and was built without mortar, in an impressive way, and was built as an arch bridge to divert water across the river valley. There are also many such aqueducts in other regions, all of which were built by the Romans, such as the multi-layer aqueduct bridge in Seville, Spain, and the Alicontai bridge that crosses the Rio River in Spain

In the late Roman Republic, the Iberian Peninsula under its rule was divided into Far Spain and Near Spain; During the Roman Empire, the Iberian Peninsula was divided into the Spanish province of Hispania Tarraconensis in the northeast, the Spanish province of Hispania Baetica (roughly equivalent to present-day Andalusia) in the southwest, and Lusitania (equivalent to present-day Portugal) in the southwest. Both the Celts and the Iberians were Romanized to varying degrees, and the local chieftains were absorbed into the Roman aristocracy.

The Romans developed the original cities, such as Tarragona, and at the same time built a number of cities, such as Zaragoza, Mérida, Valencia, León and Badajoz. Under Roman rule, the economy of the peninsula developed rapidly. The Iberian Peninsula provided Rome with grain, olive oil, wine, and metals.

Trajan, Hadrian, and Theodosius I, the Roman emperors, Seneca the philosopher, and the poets Martin, Quintilian, and Lucan were all born in Spain. The Spanish bishops were stationed in Elvira (the ancient Spanish city, in present-day Granada) from 306 onwards.

In the 5th century, with the fall of the Roman Empire, the first Germanic tribes invaded the Iberian Peninsula. The Visigoths, Suebi, Vandals, and Alans crossed the Pyrenees into Spain. Among them, the Romanized Visigoths entered Spain in 415 AD and later converted to Roman Catholicism.

After conquering the disorganized Suebi in the northwest and the Byzantine territories in the southeast, the Visigothic kingdom eventually took control of most of the Iberian Peninsula.

Look: Piazza Civeles is the end of Via Alcalá. The square is surrounded by several notable buildings, including the Bank of Spain, the Army General Headquarters, the Linares Palace, and the Communications Building, among others.

In the heart of the square is Madrid's most famous street sculpture and the most beautiful spring, the Civelles Spring. Severes was the goddess of the earth in ancient Roman mythology and the mother of the main god Jupiter. All wild animals are at her disposal.

The sculpture, designed by Bentura Rodríguez and sculpted by Roberto Mitchell and Francisco Gutiérrez, appeared in 1781. The Springs of Ceveres rightfully became a symbol of Madrid, and for this reason, the square in which it is located was also named Plaza de Madrid. The famous Real Madrid football team comes here to celebrate the victory with the fans when they win.

It was built by a Spanish sculptor to express the worship of the goddess of the harvest (goddess of the earth) and has little to do with religious beliefs.

Reasons for the independence of the Catalonia region of Spain:

1. Separatist forces have existed for a long time, Catalonia is located in the northeastern region of Spain, has its own language, and has historically demanded a high degree of autonomy. Catalonia's desire for independence is a complex historical issue, and separatist forces in the region have long existed.

2. The economic development of the country is unbalanced, and Catalonia has a population of more than 7 million, accounting for about one-sixth of the total population of Spain. However, this region accounts for 20% of the GDP of the whole of Spain, so it is also a very rich region in Spain, after the economic crisis hit Spain hard in 2008, the tax policy of **** increased the economic burden of Catalonia.

According to the 2006-2009 Catalan Fiscal Report published in 2012 by the Autonomous Authority**, Catalonia, which accounts for 16% of the country's total population, contributed to the country's GDP in the four years, ranking first in the country; The tax paid accounts for the ** fiscal revenue. However, only 14% of the country's financial allocation is allocated to Catalonia. This caused discontent among some Catalans.

3. Some populist parties in Catalonia have played a major role. Populist parties exploit the socio-economic contradictions between Spain and Canada to incite nationalist sentiment and manipulate public opinion in order to achieve electoral goals.

Putting aside today's politics and talking about history, the Iberian Peninsula itself should be a unified commonwealth, but it should not be the poorest Castia region that initiates the unification, but the richer and coastal Catalonia or Portugal But at that time, it was Castile that led the peninsula to fight back against MSL, and finally the rest of the peninsula except Portugal moved closer to Castia, and the royal family of the Trastamara dynasty of Castile became the only king to report But after unification, Before the people of the peninsula had time to complete their own internal assimilation, the native Trastamara dynasty became extinct The royal family of the inherited Habsburgs was not a peninsular, and it was opposed by the peninsulars, especially the Castians, at first, in order to unite the majority, the Habsburg royal family adopted the means of uniting the Castilian faction to fight other groups on the peninsula The Bourbon dynasty after the Habsburgs also did this, and it intensified This policy caused estrangement among different groups on the peninsula. As a result, it was difficult for the originally united Spanish nation to be reunited.

This is partly due to discrimination due to ethnic and cultural differences; It could also be because of football (Barcelona is the Catalan region, the rest of the teams led by Real Madrid are Castilla).

Catalonia was formerly part of the Kingdom of Aragon, and was united into Spain by marriage with Castile, and its culture has always maintained a certain independence. Now that the Spanish economy is not good and the Catalan region is relatively developed, it wants to break away from the burden of Spain and become independent.

Because there are a lot of problems between them.

Because I want to break away from the constraints of Spain and want to be independent.

This is one of the roots of civil war, which is why two or more peoples do not want to be ruled!

Spain and Portugal share the Iberian Peninsula. In 861 AD, King Alfonso of Portugal declared Portugal's independence, but Spain did not recognize it, and the two countries went through more than 300 years of war. It was not until 1143 AD that Spain recognized Portugal as an independent state.

Secondly, to your question, I am really puzzled, how can there be such a problem, all neighboring countries are going to merge? If that were the case, there would be only one country left in the world--- the United Nations.

The concept of the state comes from the home, that is, the complete territorial sovereignty of the source. This has much to do with Bai ethnicity, religion, etc.

These two countries may have had a certain connection in the history of DAO, but whether the two countries can be integrated now depends to a large extent on their culture, history, religious beliefs and language and other factors, as well as the country's economic development, ideology, law, ethics and most importantly, "public opinion". For many years, the two countries have long been independent, and each has its own constitution, law, and means of governance, etc., and the two countries have also been recognized by all countries in the world and the United Nations, and after World War II, the global sense of nationalism has increased and expanded, and the concept of the state is extremely strong, which is also the main factor that it is difficult for the two countries to change the status quo or not be able to merge into one.

This kind of two-country border situation is not uncommon in the world, such as China, India, North Korea, and the United States and Canada. However, in reality, there are many cases where two places (countries) are completely sovereign countries even though they are thousands of miles apart. However, with the development of time and history, the only thing that remains unchanged is the principle of "joining for a long time must be divided and dividing for a long time", which is also in the history of mankind; It was confirmed after successive world wars.
