Catedral de Segovia Review

The Segovia Cathedral, which stands at the highest point of the ancient city of Segovia, has won the reputation of "the lady in the church" for its elegant shape. In 1520, the old Romanesque church on the original site was burned in the fire of war; During the reign of Carlos V, construction of the new church began in 1525, taking nearly 200 years to complete. As the latest Gothic church in Spain, the Cathedral of Segovia is a classic work of late Gothic architecture. The main tower of the Byzantine 88-meter-high clock tower is directly piercing the sky, the Roman-style arches are magnificent, the Gothic spires are scattered, the towering main tower is in line with the many small spires scattered, and the flowery appearance of the "lady" is more "majesty"... Mayor Square in front of the church, The tourists were excited to take the cathedral as the background.

The capital of Segovia, Castile-Leon Autonomous Region, is located north of the capital Madrid and can be reached by high-speed train in 35 minutes. Population is about 55,000 people. Its old town and waterway bridge buildings are listed as a United Nations World Heritage Site.

It was a stunning building that was featured on the cover of National Geographic magazine. The cathedral of Segovia has the reputation of "the lady in the cathedral" and is the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain with the tallest bell tower in Spain. The greatest queen in history, Isabella I, was crowned here on the throne.

Visit + climb a total of 8 euros a person, very regrettable only Spanish explanation, unfortunately the tour guide is full of bla bla bla bla... I don't understand a sentence, but climb to the middle layer will put a video, there are English subtitles to understand some of the history and process of building churches, Then I started to climb the tower on the half-meter-wide rotating steps. Here, be careful of dizziness. After climbing the clock tower, you will see the refreshing city view of Segovia. It is really beautiful. As for whether the 8 euros are worth it, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom, but they are all here, it is estimated that they will see it. I feel sorry if I don't look at it ～
