What to expect
Acueduct of Segovia
One of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and the foremost symbol of Segovia
Alcazar of Segovia
The Alcázar of Segovia is a medieval alcázar located in the city of Segovia, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then. It is currently used as a museum and a military archives building.
Casco Historico de Toledo
Enjoy and explore the city of the three cultures and the coexistence of the Jewish, Moorish and Christians for centuries.
Synagogue of Saint Mary the White
The Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, originally known as the Ibn Shushan Synagogue is a museum and former synagogue. Erected in 1180, according to an inscription on a beam, it is disputably considered the oldest synagogue building in Europe still standing. It is now owned and preserved by the Catholic Church.
Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes
The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is an Isabelline style monastery built by the Catholic Monarchs in XV century. This monastery was founded by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile to commemorate both the birth of their son, Prince John and their victory at the Battle of Toro (1476) over the army of Afonso V of Portugal.
Catedral Primada de Toledo
The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo is a Roman Catholic and It is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo. The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain.
San Esteban Church
The Church of St Stephen is one of a number of medieval churches in Segovia and It dates from the 12th century and is noted for its Romanesque bell tower.
Santo Tome
The Iglesia de Santo Tomé is a church founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI of León. It appears quoted in the 12th century, as constructed on the site of an old mosque of the 11th century. This mosque, together with other mosques in the city, were used as Christian churches without major changes since in the taking of the city there was no destruction of buildings. You can admire the famous paintress from El Greco "The Burial of the Count of the Orgaz"
