PRICE: $24
per person
We’ll start at the Alcázar, an imposing fortress-palace built on a rocky promontory that looks like something out of a fairy tale and even inspired Walt Disney for the castles in his films. You’ll stroll through its courtyards and most iconic rooms, such as the Throne Room, the Hall of Kings, and the Chapel, while traveling through almost nine centuries of history. You’ll learn, with a Spanish-speaking guide, how it went from being a military fortress to a royal residence and the headquarters of the Royal College of Artillery, as well as the legends and anecdotes that surround its walls: kings, battles, conspiracies, and episodes that marked the history of Castile and Spain.
Then, we’ll stroll through the historic quarter until we reach the Cathedral of Segovia, known as the Lady of the Cathedrals. Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, it’s a marvel of late Gothic elegance, with an imposing bell tower and stunning interior chapels. Our guide will tell you how it was built after the destruction of the old cathedral during the Revolt of the Comuneros and how, together with the Alcázar and the Aqueduct, it forms part of the historical complex declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Inside, you’ll discover authentic art treasures, such as the famous Cristo Yacente by Gregorio Fernández or the painting of the Tree of Life by Ignacio de Ríes, and you’ll explore unique corners such as the Enlosado, the fantastic gargoyles that decorate its exterior, or the wonderful cloister.
A complete experience to immerse yourself in the history, art, and legends of Segovia, always accompanied by an expert guide who will make every corner come to life.
