Declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1985,the city of Segovia is an example of historical wealth and monumental beauty worth visiting.

This is a very complete and essential route, which begins in the Roman Aqueduct, a symbol that certifies Segovia’s millennial past, from where we will take the popularly streel known as “Royal Street“, where we will stop at its most emblematic points, such as the The House of SpikesSt. Martin’s Square, where you can find the Romanesque Church of the same name and not a few palaces built in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Passing through the old Royal Prison, today Reading House, we will reach the Jewish Quarter, whose old main synagogue, today the Corpus Christi church, it’s still preserved. We will finish this section of the visit in the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption, “The Lady of the catedrals”, the last Gothic Catedral built in Spain according to the Project of the arquitect Juan Gil de Hontañón. Worth mentioning in this square is also St. Michael´s church, where Queen Isabella the Catholic proclaimed herself as such in 1474. And, as a culmination of this route, the Alcázar, another of the symbols of the city of Segovia whose location and architecture are unique. This palace-fortress was the residence of kings at the time of the city’s splendor until in the 18th century it was converted into a Royal ArtilleryCollege under the command of King Charles III. It is a museum that evoques an era that does not leave the visitor indifferent. Now a days it is a museum that evoques an era that does not leave the visitor indifferent.
