Castles and Manor Houses

Segovia’s architectural landscape is defined by its transition from a strategic military outpost to a prestigious royal and noble center. This collection features the iconic Alcázar, a medieval fortress and royal palace, alongside numerous fortified manor houses and urban palaces built between the 15th and 18th centuries. These structures showcase diverse styles, including Mudéjar brickwork, Renaissance courtyards, and the city’s distinctive decorative sgraffito. From the diamond-pointed facade of Casa de los Picos to the defensive towers of local aristocrats, these sites reflect the city's historical wealth and heritage.
