Create an itinerary including Catedral de Segovia
Wherever you wander around town, the towering 16th-century Gothic style Catedral de Segovia looms above you. You should have no problems finding plenty of angles from which to photograph it. As you wander the building's perimeter, check out the sculpture of the Virgin Mary on the main facade. Once inside, take your time to appreciate the high vaults, dome, stained glass windows, and many paintings and sculptures. Head into the archive to see “The Synod of Aguilafuente,” the first book printed in Spain. The massive tower is only accessible with special permission from the cathedral's administrators, so don’t expect views. Put Catedral de Segovia and other Segovia attractions into our Segovia tour planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

  • Absolutely amazing cathedral. I've seen a lot of them and this was impressive. One of the largest in Spain. All of the side rooms with the ornate statutes and places to pray, the center areas where they keep the valuables and lead worship, and the old original section that did not get destroyed hundreds of years ago.. all is fantastic. The organs were really impressive.
  • You just can't go wrong with Spanish cathedrals. And this one is extraordinary inside and out. Built with Gothic and Renaissance components, it's truly a beautiful piece of artistic architecture. Do yourself a favor, and spend the extra 3 Euros to go on the tower tour. It's worth the climb for great views of the city amd surrounding countryside.
  • One of the most beautiful cathedrals you will ever see. No matter if you are an art-lover or you are not one them, once you are in Segovia, you must visit this place. I recommend you to join to a guided visit, so that you can understand the complexity of the building, how it was built, why it was built there, the challenges the builders had to face when it was built... Also, do not miss the artworks inside the whole area;paintings, sculptures, cult-objects,... This visit will make you understand not only the cathedral, but also the way of living of people from Segovia.
  • The last Gothic Cathedral to be built in Spain. When I entered this cathedral I was at awe with the ceiling height! Compared to other Gothic cathedrals, this pales in comparison - BUT there is beauty in simplicity. It is simple but majestic in its own. What I liked about this cathedral is how light enters into the spaces and creates a sense of peace and tranquility.
  • It’s a nice cathedral. Probably the best I’ve seen outside of a huge city. We enjoyed our visit- although it was quick it was nice to walk around and enjoy the place. The staff was nice and prompt. We would have climbed up to the top but didn’t see a way to get up there! Sad!
