Things to do in Segovia

Definitely recommended, when visiting Segovia it's one of the main attraction of segovia

The Segovia Cathedral, which stands at the highest point of the ancient city of Segovia, has won the reputation of "the lady of the church" for its graceful and elegant shape. In 1520, the old Romanesque church on the original site was burned down in the war; during the reign of Carlos V, the construction of the new church began in 1525 and took nearly 200 years to complete. As the latest Gothic church built in Spain, the Segovia Cathedral is a classic of late Gothic architecture. The 88-meter-high Byzantine bell tower pierces the sky, the Romanesque arch is magnificent, the Gothic spire towers are scattered, and the towering main tower and the numerous small spires are set off, which makes the "lady" look more beautiful... In the Plaza Mayor in front of the church, enthusiastic tourists took photos with the cathedral as the background.

Drive through the aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at its end in Segovia and the Capitoline Hill. In the 1st century BC, the ancient Romans began constructing aqueducts in Segovia, bringing spring water from a mountain 18 kilometers away to supply the city with drinking water and for public baths. In the 15th century, Queen Isabella repaired the aqueduct and placed a statue of the Virgin Mary in its center. Today, the aqueduct remains well-preserved, boasting 166 arches and 120 columns, and is over 2000 years old. Until Segovia was connected to running water a little over a century ago, it bore the heavy responsibility of providing the city's daily water supply.

Segovia's Plaza Mayor is surrounded by several exquisite buildings, including the ancient Segovia City Hall, the Juan Bravo Theater built in 1917, and the Segovia Cathedral, known as the "Lady of Cathedrals", which is the last Gothic building built in Spain.

The old town is the essence of this city. In the old town, you can see old houses with mottled walls, large and small churches full of various stories, and it is also interesting to wander through those alleys.

This church blends Western European and Middle Eastern architectural styles. Built in the 12th century, it is one of the older churches. The most worthwhile part of the church to visit is its exterior, which features an arched arcade reminiscent of ancient Rome as well as some sculptural works.
