2@puppetsock: It really is a beautiful city, even without the photoshop saturation slider at 11. As a bonus, there's a huge aqueduct on the other side of town. It's built with unmortared, brick-like granite blocks and has been standing for more than 2 millenias. – Eric Duminil Jun 29 '18 at 21:23

I've never seen this place myself, nor heard about it before today, but after some research online, I'm fairly certain this is Segovia in Spain.
Above is a picture of the same city from a slightly different angle. (Image credit Carlos Delgado, Original at Wikimedia Commons)
The big church in the middle is the Segovia cathedral . The small church in the foreground of your picture is the Iglesia de la Vera Cruz.

The town is a UNESCO world heritage site.
The mountains at the back are the Sierra de Guadarrama.

5Searched for 'cathedral mountains'. I'm amazed myself that actually worked. – drat Jun 30 '18 at 01:16

It's a view of the façade of the Segovia Cathedral, the ancient City Walls (8th century), and the Guadarrama mountains.
