Segovia - the magnificent city of Castilla

Segovia, which received world heritage status, is included in the UNESCO list, one of the most attractive cities in Spain. The city carefully preserves the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. And since the time of the Romans, you will see an aqueduct that is more than 2000 years old, built dry, without the use of cement. After the rule of the Visigoths and Moors, the city was reconquered by Alfonso VI. Since then, it has held a significant place in the Kingdom of Castile. And in 1474 it was in Segovia that Isabella was proclaimed Queen of Castile. Since the XIII century, churches have been preserved. And during the tour you will see the mansions and palaces of the aristocracy and nobility of the XIV-XVI centuries, such as the Losoia Tower, the Peak House, the palace of Count Alpuente. You can admire the “Lady of Cathedrals” – the main temple of the city. Nice on the outside and strict on the inside. In the Cathedral, in the hall of the Capitulum, Flemish tapestries of the XVII century are hung. The main attraction of the city is the Alcázar, which began to be built after the Reconquista on the foundation of the former fortification. The castle owes its modern appearance to Philip II. In the Alcazar you will see the Hall of the Old Palace with a collection of armor of the XV century. In the fireplace hall furniture XVI century. Throne room with coffered ceiling.
