Description
Iconic Alcazar of Segovia with the cathedral in the background. World Heritage Site List
N40 56 54.5 W4 7 0.3
Together with the magnificent Roman aqueduct of Segovia, probably built c. A.D. 50, and remarkably well preserved, other important monuments like the Alcázar, begun around the 11th century, and the 16th-century Gothic cathedral form part of the setting of the magnificent historic city of Segovia.
The Alcázar of Segovia (literally "Segovia Fortress") is a medieval castle located in the city of Segovia, Castile and León, Spain. The fortress is 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 to serve 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 used as a museum and a military archives building. (Wikipedia excerpt)
