egovia is a beautiful city standing on a rocky
outcrop between the Eresma and Clamores
rivers one thousand meters (3,300 feet) above
sea level and twelve kilometers (7 miles) from the
Sierra de Guadarrama. Capital of the province of the same name,
Segovia's livelihood relies on the exploitation of its livestock, forests, and
agricultural resources, in addition to the art of good eating.
The best route from Madrid is by way of Autovía A–6, through the
Guadarrama tunnel that cuts through the mountains of the Sistema
Central. Afterwards, a right turn on the N–603 and a short distance
further will take you to the city; a total of 90 kilometers (56 miles) from
the capital of Spain.
Its proximity to high mountains makes Segovia a place with a cold but
invigorating climate. Freezing temperatures are common during the
lengthy winter season. This, in turn, favors the exuberance of nature,
proliferation of forests, streams, and landscapes of great beauty. Hotels
are perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions and are intent on making
the visitor's stay as comfortable as possible.
Segovia has been given the nickname of the Stone Ship. This is because
the profile of the Alcázar castle perched on the rocks resembles the prow
of a ship while the Cathedral tower serves as the mast. Lyricism aside,
Segovia is one of the richest cities in Spain for monuments, as well as
historical and cultural traditions. The UNESCO acknowledged this in
1985 by declaring it a World Heritage City.

Originally a series of villages, it was conquered by the
Romans in the first century and became a military
emporium. At the fall of the Roman Empire, peoples
from the North of Europe settled here until they were
overpowered by the Arabs. While under Arab
domination, Segovia became capital of various Moorish
kingdoms.
In 1088, Segovia was
conquered by Alfonso VI,
king of Castile, initiating a
period of political
importance and became
the residence of the court
of the Trastámara dynasty,
seat of a bishop, and a
prosperous trading center
with northern Europe due
to its wealth of livestock
and burgeoning textile
industry.
During this period, the
majority of the numerous
Romanesque monuments
Church of San Clemente
were built, making
Segovia the city center with the largest number of
Romanesque constructions in all of Europe. In the 15th
century, Segovia rose to prominence with the
Trastámaras, becoming the center of the royal court. In
1474, and as the culminating point of this era, Isabella
the Catholic was proclaimed queen of the kingdom of
Castile in the Church of San Miguel.
When Charles V came to the throne with his new
imperial government, Segovia refused to admit the loss
of its preeminence and headed the uprising known as
the Revolt of the Comuneros and was defeated in 1521.
The city was then relegated to a secondary role
politically but maintained its economic power centered
around textile manufacturing, reaching its peak during
the 16th century.
In the 17th century, the textile industry collapsed,
destroying with it much of the city's activity. In the 18th
century, it regained some of its splendor with the
Bourbon monarchs, primarily with the building of the
stately palaces at La Granja and Riofrío.

A little further along, we
come to the Plaza del

Roman Aqueduct (3) rises
in all its splendor to a
height of 29 meters (95 ft.)
This remarkable work of
engineering, the largest
and best preserved from
the Roman Empire, dates
from the first century and
transported water from
more than fifteen
kilometers away. Its huge
blocks of granite are
joined by an extraordinary
opposition of forces

The Romanesque Church
of San Millán (1) is
situated near the beginning
of the pedestrian avenue of
Fernández Ladreda. It was
built in the 12th century
and is considered by many
to be the best example of
Segovian Romanesque.
The tower, Mozarab in
style and earlier than the
rest of the building, the
porch, and the four apses
are of special interest.
Proceeding along Avenida
de Fernández Ladreda, to
the right we encounter the
Church of San Clemente (2),
also Romanesque with a
work of exceptional beauty.
Following the Aqueduct in
leaving the walled sector,
we can detour on the
street called Calle Ochoa
Ondátegui until reaching
Plaza de San Justo where
we find the Church of San
Justo (4). A somber 12th
century church, it was
built in honor of the figure
of Christ known as Cristo
de los Gascones and houses
exceptional Romanesque
frescos in the interior.
We take Calle de Ruiz de
Alda returning towards the
Aqueduct; upon arriving
at the Plaza de Díaz Sanz,
the perspective makes the
Roman construction
resemble a gigantic wall.
In the same Plaza, we find
the Artillery Academy, a
former Franciscan convent.
Further along, at the
beginning of the
Aqueduct, we turn to the
right next to the walls of
the convent of Santa Rita,
and we take Calle de San
Antonio which leads us to

the Monastery of San
Antonio el Real (5). The
monastery, former summer
residence of king Enrique
IV, has the best Mudejar
coffered ceiling in
Segovia, some Flemish
paintings from the 15th
century, furniture, books,
clothing and sculpture
from the period.
ITINERARY II
Segovia, a World
Heritage City
Starting at the Plaza
Azoguejo, we take the
street of Calle Cervantes,
the first stretch of what
Segovians call "Calle Real"
or Royal Street, a pedestrian
walk that includes Calle
Cervantes, Calle Juan
Bravo, Plaza del Corpus,
and Calle de Isabel la
Católica, ending at the
Plaza Mayor.
The first sight that takes
visitors by surprise is the
Casa de los Picos (6), a
15th century mansion
noted for its remarkable
facade studded with
pointed granite pyramids,
presently used as the
School of Applied Arts
and Artistic Trades.
Further along to the left,
we encounter the palace
of Count Alpuente
decorated with interesting
plaster pargetting or
"esgrafiado" work
(obtained by raking over
smooth plaster to create a
design in relief) on the
facade and Flamboyant

C
la
DE
Romanesque–Mudejar
tower with a Baroque
spire, splendid porches,
and a parish museum. The
Torreón (large fortified
tower) is a 14th century
defensive construction
where exhibits are held
throughout the year.
After leaving the Church
of San Martín, to the right
we come upon the former
Royal Jail, a medieval
building which, after
much restoration, houses
a public library. Shortly,
we arrive at the Plaza del
Corpus where we find the
Convent of Corpus
Christi (10), a former Jewish
synagogue transformed
into a church in 1410.
Continuing along Calle de
Isabel la Católica, we reach
the Plaza Mayor (Main
Square), vital center of the
walled sector of the city.
To the left of the porticoed
plaza stands the imposing
Cathedral (11). Its construction
was initiated in 1525 under
the direction of Juan Gil de
Hontañón in the Late
Gothic windows. On a
nearby street is the old
Alhóndiga (7), a public
granary in the Late Gothic
style now used as the
Municipal Archives and
exhibit hall.
Returning to the Calle
Real, along the stretch
called Calle Juan Bravo, to
the left we see the Casa
del Siglo XV, Late Gothic
in style and today a shop
and exhibit hall. Right away
we reach one of the loveliest
spots in the city, the Plaza
de Medina del Campo.
In this square, we find the
statue of Juan Bravo,
celebrated "comunero" in
the revolt against Charles
V, which occupies the
center of the open space,
the Church of San Martín (8),
the Torreón de los
Lozoya (9), and other
monumental buildings.
San Martín is a magnificent
Romanesque church with
architectural elements
added pertaining to
different styles; Mozarab
remains in the interior, a

Gothic style, taking
advantage of the remains
of the Old Cathedral
which was erected in front
of the Alcázar castle and
destroyed by fire during the
Revolt of the Comuneros.
In the Cathedral, various
parts rescued from the Old
Cathedral can be found,
including a Hispano–Flemish
Gothic cloister by Juan
Guas, magnificent choir
stalls, and the main
facade. From the structure
erected in the 16th century,
of particular interest are
the San Frutos doorway
facing the Plaza Mayor,
the free–standing tower,
originally 100 meters high
and today with 12 less,
the apse with its buttresses
and pinnacles, the
Baroque high altarpiece
by Sabatini, the neoclassical
retrochoir by Ventura
Rodríguez, and numerous
smaller chapels housing
works by Pereira, Guas,
Juan de Juni, Gregorio
Hernández and others.
The Cathedral Museum
houses Hispano–Flemish
panels and 16th century
paintings, Romanesque
and Gothic sculpture,
silver and gold works,
tapestries, and a collection
of incunabula, including
the Synod of Aguilafuerte,
the first non–literary book
printed in Spain.
Also in the Plaza Mayor,
we have the Ayuntamiento
(Town Hall), dating from
1610, and the Juan Bravo
Theater. Very close to the
square, on Calle Infanta
Isabel, is the Church of
6
Cathedral
San Miguel (12), today
mainly Gothic in style, but
with some Romanesque
elements from the
primitive temple where
Isabella the Catholic was
crowned Queen of
Castile, such as the sober
sculptures of the doorway.
We continue our tour and
take Calle de Marqués de
Arco. At the beginning of
the street, we find the
Casa del Marqués del
Arco, dating from the
second half of the 15th
century. Shortly, we reach
the Plaza de la Merced,
laid out with gardens,
where the Church of San
Andrés (13) is found. It is
Romanesque in style and
dates from the 12th
century and has a brick
tower with a slate spire.
The last stretch of our
walk before arriving at the
Alcázar castle is part of
the Canonjías quarter,
called this because of the
large number of canons of
the church that lived here
at one time. It is the best
assembly of civil
Romanesque architecture
in all of Europe. When it
was built, it was separated
from the rest of the city by
walls and gates but only
one remains, La Claustra,
situated on the neighboring
street of Calle Velarde.
At the end of the Calle
Daoiz, continuation of
Marqués del Arco, we
come to the Alcázar (14),
preceded by the gardens
of Queen Victoria
Eugenia, a green oasis
where the Old Cathedral
once stood. To the left, we
find the Casa de la
Química, in which Louis
Proust formulated his
famous laws.
The majestic fortress is
strategically positioned at
the confluence of the
Eresma and Clamores
rivers, and at first glance,
we focus on the impressive
tower of Juan II, 80 meters
(260 feet) high with 12
turrets on the upper part,
the tower of Alfonso X the
Wise to the north, and the
spectacular defensive
moat. In the interior, we
discover the courtyards
called Patio de Armas and
Patio del Reloj; the Hall of
Kings for a frieze featuring
different monarchs, the
Throne Room, Hall of the
Arched Windows, and the
Chimney Room, to cite a
few. We can also visit the
rooms dedicated to the
Royal Artillery Academy,
and others where diverse
military objects are exhibited.
We now take the Ronda
Don Juan II until a small
street to our right, almost
a little square, takes us to
the Casa del Sol (15). The
Provincial Museum of
Segovia houses
archeological remains,
glass from La Granja,
painting, sculpture, etc.
Continuing on Ronda Don
Juan II, we pass beneath

del Conde Cheste is a
lovely square enclosed by
splendid old homes and
mansions of noble families,
including the Palaces of
La Floresta, Count Cheste,
and Uceda–Peralta.
To the right, on Calle Luis
Felipe Peñalosa, we come
to the garden where the
Church of San Juan de los
Caballeros (17) was built
in the Romanesque style
with profusely decorated
areas. It now houses the
Zuloaga Museum.
Returning to the Plaza del

San Vicente, the oldest
one in the city. In the year
140, a temple of Jupiter
was located on this site
which was later destroyed
by fire. In the year 919, a

altarpiece, the alabaster
tombs of the Marquis of
Villena, and cloisters of
the monastery are all
worth visiting.

PROVINCE
Tourist guides are available during the summer months
in the following cities: Ayllón, Coca, Cuéllar, Pedraza,
Santa María la Real de Nieva, Sepúlveda, and La Granja
de San Ildefonso.
ITINERARY 1
The Royal Route
Eleven kilometers from
Segovia on the N–601, in
an unparalleled setting at
the foot of the mountains,
is the elegant Palacio de
La Granja de San Ildefonso.
This grandiose palace was
begun in 1721 with the
participation of various
architects, including
Teodoro Ardemans and
Juan Bautista Sachetti,
making a beautiful blend
of Spanish Barroque and
French neoclassical styles
with subtle Italian touches.
Ornate furnishings and
antiques from the period,
as well as 17th century
Flemish painting, and
an excellent collection Villacastín
of tapestries are
displayed.
The palace is surrounded
by spectacular formal
gardens with numerous
species of plants and is
adorned with statues and
26 monumental fountains
in an elaborate display of
light and color, perhaps
the most delightful part of
the complex. Nearby, we
encounter the Royal Glass
Factory of La Granja, an
industrial building dating
from the 18th century with
a permanent exhibit and
other temporary ones
devoted to the delicate art
of glass–making.

Riofrío. This regal country
mansion, a square
construction measuring 84
meters (275 feet) on each
side, is surrounded by an
extensive holm oak grove
of 700 hectares (1700
acres) abounding in wildlife.
Italianate in appearance,
the building houses works
by Ribera, Houasse,
Pereda and other artists,
and part of it is used as a
Hunting Museum, exhibiting
armaments from the past
three centuries, trophies,
and paintings by Velázquez,
Rubens and others.
After visiting the retreats of
La Granja and Riofrío, we
proceed on the N–603 for
30 kilometers until we
come to San Rafael and El
Espinar, near the Hermitage
of Cristo del Caloco. The
two towns are located in
the heart of the mountains.
After taking the Autovía
N–VI for 21 kilometers,
we come to Villacastín
where we can admire its
huge church started in
1529 by the Friar Antonio

characterized by Islamic
influence. Taking the
C–605 road northwest for
thirty kilometers, we come
to Santa María la Real de
Nieva, a town built around
the monastery finished in
the 15th century. A treasure
of medieval Castilian art,
the church and the cloister,
with its profusely decorated

CUISINE AND
HANDICRAFTS
Segovian cooking gives
rise to the leading industry
in the province with its
numerous restaurants,
especially those with
typical brick roasting
ovens. The key to their
success is the excellent
quality of the products
used and the expert hands
of the master chefs who
have made the region a
mandatory gathering place
for disciminating palates.
Typical dishes include
"judiones de la Granja"
(a stew of oversize broad
white beans), "sopa
castellana" (soup with
eggs, bread and garlic),
roast suckling pig, roast
lamb, "caldereta" (stewed
lamb), veal, trout, tench,
partridge, and quail. The
abundant forests are ideal
for all kinds of mushrooms
to flourish. Sweets are
represented by "ponche
segoviano" (a liqueur–dipped,
