Alcázar of Segovia

The Alcázar of Segovia, or Segovia Castle, is one of the historic landmarks of Segovia. This old fortress shaped like the bow of a boat with its iconic central turret is certainly a strong stone fortification. Throughout its history, it has been controlled by the Arabs, the Romans and finally the Christians. For a long time the castle was a royal residence for the rulers and kings of the Kingdom of Castile and played a key role in the defense of the city. Today, visitors can witness this formidable structure and its rooms, which have been converted into art spaces. Each of the halls displays varied art forms ranging from paintings to collectibles.
