- Segobriga Archaeological Park - Roman city of Segobriga. This archaeological site is one of the most important and best preserved Roman remains in Spain. The Roman city of Segobriga was the commercial and economic center of the mining of Lapis Specularis. Lapis Specularis is a variety of gypsum that forms sheets of glass and was used as the first window panes in history. The Lapis Specularis became highly demanded by the richest families in the empire, and economic growth allowed the monumentalization of the city. There were only seven Roman cities in Hispania with a Theatre, Amphitheater and Circus, and Segóbriga was one of them. The city’s economy collapsed when the technique of making sheet glass was developed and demand for the Lapis Specularis ceased.
