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 13:05pm 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 13:05pm asking for assistance.
They reportedly told cops that a man had been rendered unconscious after falling from a viewing platform on the Segovia aqueduct.
This 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.
