In December 1985, UNESCO decided that Segovia and its aqueduct should be part of the World Heritage Site. There was no shortage of reasons as the city is remarkable for its beauty, environment, buildings and streets.
With an economy based on its cultural and gastronomic assets, the city includes interesting museums and showrooms; and its streets and squares become every year, for a few days, the scene of artistic activities such as Holy Week or the puppet performances of Titirimundi. Folksegovia has become the world’s most prestigious music festival in Spain.
Palace courtyards, convent cloisters and the facades of important buildings are also the scene of the many days of the International Festival, during which one can flourish with Chamber Music Week, the Youth Festival and the Festival Open to Theater, Music and Dance. Its two university campuses also promote training and cultural activities, making Segovia a must-see.
The territory currently occupied by the province of Segovia was, at first, a Celtic stronghold. During the Roman period it belonged to the juridical convent of Clunia and during Visigothic Hispania it became the episcopal seat of the Catholic Church. The surprising speed of the conquest of Visigothic Hispania by the Muslims in the 8th century strongly conditions the conformation of the territory of Segovia.
The civil wars between Berbers and Arabs in the 8th century forced them to abandon the center and the north of the peninsula. In the twelfth century the repopulation of Sepúlveda and Sacramenia begins, but in any case during this period the territory of Segovia will remain sparsely populated, with eremitic colonies, groups of Christian cattle breeders, without having a determined social or political organization.
Segovia Cathedral
The Lady of Cathedrals
She is known as “The Lady of Cathedrals” for her size and elegance; the Holy Cathedral Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and San Frutos of Segovia is a cathedral built between the 16th and 18th centuries.
Gothic in style but with Renaissance features, it is the latest Gothic cathedral in Spain and Europe, as it was built in the middle of the 16th century, when in Europe it was Renaissance architecture that prevailed. took precedence. The old Cathedral of Saint Mary of Segovia was destroyed in 1520, during the War of the Communities, and it was therefore in 1525 that the construction of a new cathedral began under the direction of Juan Gil de Hontañón.
