Your trip to Segovia

The Alcázar of Segovia is a medieval fortress where the Castilian court was based for centuries. It dates from the 12th century, although it is thought that it may have been built much earlier, during Roman times, since the granite is the same as that used in the Segovian aqueduct. It looks like a fairy tale castle and is a symbol of the city. Currently you can visit its interior and discover the medieval palace and its different rooms, the museum and the Tower of Juan II. The castle also has two courtyards: the Clock Courtyard and the Arms Courtyard.

The Mirador de la Pradera de San Marcos is located in Segovia. From its green meadow you can appreciate the magnificent views of the imposing Alcázar of Segovia.

The Plaza del Medina del Campo de Segovia is also known as the Plaza de las Sirenas due to the sculptures that are found in it which have nothing to do with the sirens that we are used to seeing in fairy tales. Rather these sirens are a mix of the body of a lion and a woman with a crown and veil, more similar to a sphinx. You will also find In the statue of Juan Bravo, a politician, military man and alderman of Segovia in the 15th century.

The Tower located in the Plazuela de San Martín in the city of Segovia. This defensive house was built in the 14th century and was modified into a Renaissance palace in the 17th century. It is currently used as an exhibition hall.

The church has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and is located in the Plazuela de San Martín, next to the Plaza de Medina del Campo where the statue of Juan Bravo and the Torreón de Lozoya stand. The church of San Martín is Romanesque in style and has three naves with three bays each, a transept with a brick dome and three apses, as well as a huge brick bell tower. The most outstanding feature is undoubtedly its exterior, where we find various sculptures representing different mythical scenes of Christianity, including the Nativity.

The Segovia Aqueduct is a Roman aqueduct dating from the 2nd century AD. Although the exact date is not known, it is believed to be from the time of the Flavians (after 112 AD). Its excellent state of conservation and its construction made with granite ashlars without mortar between them is striking. and somewhat surprising considering that it has 20,400 stone blocks and 167 arches. This demonstrates the magnificent work of engineering, the force is distributed in such a way that it achieves a perfect balance that has been maintained for almost two millennia. Its maximum height is 28.10 meters and its route begins at the Palacio de la Granja until it reaches the El Caserón cistern. This impressive Roman feat of civil engineering had the function of bringing water from the Sierra to the city and has become an emblem of the city.
