Segovia is a beautiful city standing on a rockyoutcrop between the Eresma and Clamoresrivers one thousand meters (3,300 feet) above

sea level and twelve kilometers (7 miles) from theSierra de Guadarrama. Capital of the province of the same name,Segovia's livelihood relies on the exploitation of its livestock, forests, andagricultural resources, in addition to the art of good eating.The best route from Madrid is by way of Autovía A–6, through theGuadarrama tunnel that cuts through the mountains of the SistemaCentral. Afterwards, a right turn on the N–603 and a short distancefurther will take you to the city; a total of 90 kilometers (56 miles) fromthe capital of Spain.Its proximity to high mountains makes Segovia a place with a cold butinvigorating climate. Freezing temperatures are common during thelengthy winter season. This, in turn, favors the exuberance of nature,proliferation of forests, streams, and landscapes of great beauty. Hotelsare perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions and are intent on makingthe visitor's stay as comfortable as possible.Segovia has been given the nickname of the Stone Ship. This is becausethe profile of the Alcázar castle perched on the rocks resembles the prowof a ship while the Cathedral tower serves as the mast. Lyricism aside,Segovia is one of the richest cities in Spain for monuments, as well ashistorical and cultural traditions. The UNESCO acknowledged this in1985 by declaring it a World Heritage City.

Historical Background

Originally a series of villages, it was conquered by theRomans in the first century and became a militaryemporium. At the fall of the Roman Empire, peoplesfrom the North of Europe settled here until they wereoverpowered by the Arabs. While under Arabdomination, Segovia became capital of various Moorish

kingdoms.In 1088, Segovia wasconquered by Alfonso VI,king of Castile, initiating aperiod of politicalimportance and becamethe residence of the courtof the Trastámara dynasty,seat of a bishop, and aprosperous trading centerwith northern Europe dueto its wealth of livestockand burgeoning textileindustry.During this period, themajority of the numerousRomanesque monumentswere built, making

Segovia the city center with the largest number ofRomanesque constructions in all of Europe. In the 15thcentury, Segovia rose to prominence with theTrastámaras, becoming the center of the royal court. In1474, and as the culminating point of this era, Isabellathe Catholic was proclaimed queen of the kingdom ofCastile in the Church of San Miguel.When Charles V came to the throne with his newimperial government, Segovia refused to admit the lossof its preeminence and headed the uprising known asthe Revolt of the Comuneros and was defeated in 1521.The city was then relegated to a secondary rolepolitically but maintained its economic power centeredaround textile manufacturing, reaching its peak duringthe 16th century.In the 17th century, the textile industry collapsed,destroying with it much of the city's activity. In the 18thcentury, it regained some of its splendor with theBourbon monarchs, primarily with the building of thestately palaces at La Granja and Riofrío.

ITINERARY I

Outside the WallsThe Romanesque Churchof San Millán (1) issituated near the beginningof the pedestrian avenue ofFernández Ladreda. It wasbuilt in the 12th centuryand is considered by manyto be the best example ofSegovian Romanesque.The tower, Mozarab instyle and earlier than therest of the building, theporch, and the four apsesare of special interest.Proceeding along Avenidade Fernández Ladreda, tothe right we encounter theChurch of San Clemente (2),also Romanesque with a

notable apse with blindarches.A little further along, wecome to the Plaza delAzoguejo. Here theRoman Aqueduct (3) risesin all its splendor to aheight of 29 meters (95 ft.)This remarkable work ofengineering, the largestand best preserved fromthe Roman Empire, datesfrom the first century andtransported water frommore than fifteenkilometers away.
