From the narrow and deep main street of Segovia, you see the Church of St. Miriam in the first open space. It is a collection of Roman, Arab, Christian styles. Roman pillars, baroque minarets, Arab earth walls are perfectly integrated. In front of the church there is a square where a Sphinx is placed. Unlike the Sphinx in Egypt, the face here is the image of a European girl. There is also a bronze statue in the square, which is said to be built to commemorate the victory over the Black Death.
Attractions near Madrid, Segovia is definitely worth a day of walking. In addition to enjoying the ancient Roman Grand Aqueduct and tasting the specialty food, roasted suckling pig, there are many attractions worth stopping to enjoy from the Grand Aqueduct to the Snow White fairy tale castle. This church is one of them.
A famous Catholic church in Segovia, a classic building from the pre-Roman style of Spain. The earliest place to find Spanish was passed from here - there is an obscure star chef next door to her house, which is very convenient to take the subway.
Spain is a poor place in Europe, so the church has to collect money for everything. The exterior of the church is magnificent, but the interior decoration is just average. The exterior is Romanesque with a cloister. The tower is rebuilt and a bit incongruous.
