| Page Views: 257 Last Visit to Segovia: April, 2007 | The Royal Castle of Spain - and much more!!! by el_ruso - last update: Apr 21, 2007 |
Segovia is a small town near Madrid. However, it is the heart and soul of Spain, and a visit to this country without a stop in Segovia makes as much sense as a visit to India without a stop in Agra. |
|  | The town indeed is small, but it is very pretty and packed with things to see. And despite the large number of tourists it remains a living and working town. |
| | The main attraction is of course the Alcazar, the royal castle, a massive aqueduct built by Roman emperor Trajan (or rather his slaves) and a large number of mansions covered in "esgrafiado" decorations. The city boasts many fine Romanesque churches. The cathedral is impressive, although not as much as in Toledo. |
