DINNER OVERLOOKING THE ILLUMINATED AQUEDUCT

2. HISTORY
The first recorded mention of a settlement in what is today Segovia was a Celtic posses-
sion. Control later passed into the hands of the Romans. The end of the Middle Ages
saw something of a golden age for Segovia, with a growing Jewish population and the
creation of a foundation for a powerful cloth industry. Several splendid works of Gothic
architecture were also completed during this period.
MORNING
AQUEDUCT
Our first stop is in the Azoguejo square, where we find the main Visitor Reception Cen-
tre and the imposing Aqueduct. This is a good opportunity to pick up all the information
we need. As well as having our photo taken under the monument, we can also see
interesting details, such as the perfect stone-cutting, or the absence of any kind of
adhesive material to keep the blocks together.
ONE DAY IN SEGOVIA
JEWISH QUARTER
From the Aqueduct, we walk to-
wards the Jewish Quarter along. On
the way we can take a look at the
façades of the buildings with their
typical decoration, normally featu-
ring varied and attractive geometric
and plant motifs. We will also pass
the church of San Martín, a good
example of Romanesque art in
Segovia, and the Casa de los Picos
house.
LUNCH
This is the time to sample the local gastronomy. There are a host of restaurants in
the streets leading off Plaza Mayor square, in the area around the Cathedral and in
Plaza del Azoguejo square. When you order, make sure to order such typical dishes
as roast suckling pig or milk-fed lamb.
AFTERNOON
THE ALCÁZAR UP TO THE TOWER
Segovia is a city that can be explored
on foot, and a gentle walk will take us
to the Alcázar fortress. As well as
visiting the interior, it is definitely
worthwhile to climb to the top of the
tower (152 stairs), as it offers outstan-
ding views of the church of Vera Cruz
and El Parral monastery.
THE CATHEDRAL
Next, we go arround the Cathedral, the massive cathedral was built between 1525–
1577 in the Gothic style. The previous catedral of Segovia had stood adjacent to the
Alcázar, but it was relocated to the present site and built by Juan Gil de Hontañon and
his son Rodrigo Gil de Hontañon.
