A BRIT tourist has tragically died after falling from an ancient Roman aqueduct.

The 63-year-old sightseer, who plunged from the Segovia aqueduct in Spain, was sitting on the viewing platform on Saturday afternoon before dropping down.

Local cops rushed to the scene, with initial reports claiming that the man was sat on the observation deck’s parapet before falling backwards.

The man was seen by local police and medical teams but was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene.

Segovia City Council said police responded to the call for help at around 1:05pm after a person fell from the top of the Postigo.

The Brit holidaymaker reportedly travelled to Segovia last Thursday, along with two other people.

Multiple calls were received by local police at around 1:05pm asking for assistance.

Panicked onlookers told cops that a man plunged from a viewing deck on the popular Segovia aqueduct.

The platform is located on the stairs leading to Obispo Gandásegui Street.

At the scene, emergency services attempted to revive the person who fell, but ultimately failed.

The historic city of Segovia is located northwest of Madrid, in Spain‘s Castile and León region.

It is known for its famous buildings including the aqueduct, which is one of its main attractions.

The well-preserved Roman structure is 28.5 metres tall at its tallest point.

Last year, a daredevil Brit died after falling near 50 metres down from a bridge in a foiled social media stunt.

He plunged from the bridge Puente de Castilla-La Mancha in Spain – one of the country’s tallest.
