A town in the hills | A little stormy - just after a quick blizzard! |
The sixteenth century Cathedral was constructed under the direction of Juan Gil de Hontanon in the Late Gothic style. It was initiated in 1525.
This is a view of the Cathedral from near the Alcazar. |
| It all started a long time ago! |
|  | The Romans were here! Yes they were and it's very obvious that they were!
Look at this - an amazing piece of work. This aquaduct is the largest Roman aquaduct in the world and rises a total of 29 metres (95 feet).
More pictures of this amazing architecture in my tips. |
It was a little stormy! Even in April the weather may not be very good. On my day trip from Madrid it was a good 5 degrees colder than Madrid and the winds made it feel even colder. All my pictures on the following pages were taken on the same day. Some show a beautiful blue sky, some a stormy sky (in fact there was a five minute blizzard during the afternoon!).
Take a jumper ! (translation: sweater!!) | | | Looking stormy towards the mountains |

| Pros: | "Beautiful city with a great deal of history" | | Cons: | "2 hours on a slow train from Madrid - but don't be put off!" | | In A Nutshell: | "Roman, Arab, Jewish, Catholic and very Spanish!" |

Hello Martin! Segovia like the rest of Spain is full of history and one of the reasons why I love the country so much. Wonderful page full of good info and superb photos! Happy birthday from Finland. Sini | basstbn Tue Apr 11, 2006 14:43 UTC
Wonderful reminders of one of my favorite places! Good job. (I remember buying a sweatshirt there in mid-June, out of necessity.) Birthday greetings from Kansas! |
