Description

The last Gothic cathedral built in Spain, it was built at the highest point of the town, construction of the cathedral of Segovia began in the year 1525, during the reign of Carlos V. Its style is late-Gothic style and was built after the fire in the old Romanesque cathedral in the year 1520. The ground plan consists of three naves, lateral chapels and a semicircular sanctuary with an ambulatory. The church was built according to the design of Juan Gil de Hontañón; it has three doorways: the Puerta del Perdón, the work of Juan Guas, on the main façade, while on the southern face we have the San Geroteo and San Frutos Doors. It measures 105 m by 50 m and stands 33 m high at the main nave. The main altarpiece is made of marble, jasper and bronze. It was consecrated in the year 1768.
When I captured this image in 2014 there was on the right side, due to some construction or repair going on, an unsightly and very large crane that I removed digitally for aesthetic reasons.
