background

Segovia was born in 80 BC. Conquered by the Romans, after which it fell under Moorish rule. In 1085 the Christians recaptured the city.

history

Legend has it that Segovia was founded by Hercules the Egyptian, a great-grandson of Noah, around 1076 BC. Founded. A fortress of the Arevaci or Vakkäer (Vaccaei) was located here in the Celtic-Iberian period. was conquered by the Romans after fierce resistance. Segovia became part of the Roman Provincia Hispania Tarraconensis and one of the most important Roman cities in Spain. The Roman aqueduct of Segovia from the 1st or 2nd century AD, which connects the lower town with the upper town, is the largest surviving Roman monument in all of Spain.

Bishops have been attested for Segovia since the 6th century. The city was owned by the Moorish from 714 to the 11th century. The fighting between Christians and Moors destroyed the traces of the Visigoth episcopal city and Moorish residence. Segovia was then on the northern border of Taifa Toledo. The last Moors invasion took place in 1072, after the conquest of Toledo by King Alfonso VI. in 1085 Segovia was repopulated and developed into an important center. Numerous medieval churches document the prosperity of the city.

The city experienced its heyday in the 15th century under the Trastamara dynasty. It became the royal residence and the center of the knight culture of the late Middle Ages. During this time the Alcazar was given its present form. In 1474, Isabella was proclaimed Queen of Castile in the Church of San Miguel. The brother of Queen Henry IV promoted the establishment of monasteries in the vicinity of the city. The El Parral monastery in the north of the city was planned as one of the first monasteries in the Isabelline Gothic style. In 1520 Segovia joined the Comuneros uprising. During the bitter battles of the Communeros against Charles V, the old cathedral in front of the Alcazar was destroyed. The new Jewish Quarter Cathedral was built in the city center on the former Jewish Quarter from 1525 after the Jews were expelled in 1492. The cathedral is a monumental monument of the Isabelline Gothic and is now one of Segovia's landmarks.

Churches

  • 1  cathedral (Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y de San Frutos), Plaza Mayor. Tel.: 34 921 462 205, Fax: 34 921 460 694. Cathedral in the Wikipedia encyclopediaCathedral in the media directory Wikimedia CommonsCathedral (Q1499912) in the Wikidata database.Segovia has been an episcopal city since the 6th century. A first Visigoth cathedral in Segovia was probably destroyed in 516. The Romanesque cathedral, begun under Alfonso VII, was located directly in front of the Alcazar. It was consecrated in 1228 and destroyed in the uprising of the Communeros in 1520. In 1525, at the express request of Charles V, the construction of a new cathedral in the city center in the former Jewish quarter, which had lost its importance after the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, began. The cathedral chapter appointed the builder of the cathedral of Salamanca, Juan Gil de Hontanon. After his death in 1526, his son Rodrigeo de Hontanon continued the construction. With a few exceptions, the Isabelline style was retained in the construction of the cathedral until it was completed in the 17th century. Construction proceeded from west to east. The choir part began in 1563, the central nave was completed in 1567, the crossing was completed with a Herrera-style dome in 1615, the expansion of the chapels began in 1591 and the choir parts were completed in 1614. The building consists of a main nave and two side aisles, a crossing with a dome and a polygonal ambulatory with a chapel wreath. The tower is 88 meters high and was not completed until 1620 after it had previously been partially destroyed by lightning strikes. The facade of the nave does not have elaborate portals with figural decorations, only at the Puerta del Perdon there is a stone Madonna, which is attributed to the circle of Juan Guas and could have belonged to the old cathedral. The portal of the transept, the Puerta de S.Frutos, was added in the Herrera style in 1616 according to plans by Pedro de Brizuela. The interior of the church corresponds entirely to the ideal of the Isabelline Gothic. The central nave is 33 meters high, as is the central nave of Chartres Cathedral. There is a low window zone above the high arches. The choir is closed off from the ambulatory with a wall, which should correspond to the concept of Isabelline Gothic, although the wall was only built in 1614. The dome over the crossing was completed in 1615 in the Herrera style. The main altar goes on the initiative of Charles III. back. It was designed by Francesco Sabatini in 1768. On the main altar is the Madonna de la Paz (Madonna of Peace) from the 14th century, which was donated to the old cathedral by Henry IV and was clad in silver in the 18th century. Most of the stained glass windows by Flemish artists were installed in 1543-1548 (before the construction was completed). They are arranged in more than 200 groups of 3 windows, with the middle (larger) window depicting a scene from the New Testament, to which associated events from the Old Testament have been set aside. In the fifth chapel of the northeast side aisle (Pietà Chapel) is the Lamentation Altar on the right side, one of the main works by Juan de Juni. It was completed in 1571. Opposite is an early 16th century triptych from the Church of San Miguel, painted by a successor to Gerard David. A ceramic altar in the pre-sacristy (Capilla de Smo. Sacramento) frames a crucifix from the 17th century attributed to the Portuguese artist Manuel Pereira. The cloister was built from 1472 to designs by Juan Guas for the old cathedral. It is one story and was moved here when the construction of the new cathedral began. It is the first known work by Juan Guas and is one of the few examples of the pure Flamboyant style with Dutch influences among the Spanish cloisters of the time.Open: daily 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., Apr to Sep until 6 p.m.Price: € 3, Sun 9.30 a.m. to 1.15 p.m. free admission.

At the west portal are the statues of the four apostles, stylistically with the statutes of the Sta. Maria la Real in Sangueza (Navarre). A relief of a bishop from the 12th century was inserted on the north side. The floor plan of the church with three naves of two bays in length, a not very projecting transept, crossing and three apses is compared with buildings from the 12th century in Aragon. The interior has been rebuilt several times, so that the original impression has been lost. The baroque main altar dates from the 17th century and contains a picture of St. Francis of Assisi.

    The rock ridge on which the upper town lies was likely to have been fortified since ancient times. The Alcazar, built after the Reconquista from the end of the 11th century, was renovated by Alfonso X in 1262 and expanded as a royal residence from John II to Henry IV. The 15th century castle is one of the landmarks of Segovia, which defines the silhouette of the city with the towers of the cathedral and the tower of the Church of San Esteban. The view from Parral or from the Vera Cruz Church is particularly impressive. The last major renovations go back to Philip II, who celebrated his wedding with his fourth wife Anna of Austria here in 1570. The castle was under Philip IV state prison, 1764 under Charles III. Artillery School. In 1862 a fire largely destroyed the interior. The castle was then restored in the romantic spirit. After another restoration after the civil war, the castle is open to the public as a monument to Spanish history.
    The rock slopes steeply on three sides, so that the castle only needed larger fortifications through walls and ditches to the southeast (towards the city). The tower is 80 meters high. It was started in the 15th century under Johann II, possibly based on the model of English castles. The castle courtyard was expanded from 1587 under the direction of Francisco de Moya according to plans by Herrera, the palace was expanded for residential purposes from 1412. In the course of the restoration, the interior of the state rooms from the 15th century was restored with the help of romanticizing drawings. The rooms were furnished with Yeseria and Azulejo wall decorations and carved wooden ceilings based on the Moorish model. This style has established itself in the Christian north since the time of Peter the Cruel in the 14th century. The Alcazar of Segovia offers an impressive, fully restored example of such an interior from the 15th century, in which Moorish elements mixed with late Gothic and Renaissance motifs.
    in the Sala del Trono (Throne room) from the time of Henry IV is today a wooden ceiling from a church in the province of Valladolid. The Sala de la Galera was expanded in 1412 by Catherine of Lancaster. The name is reminiscent of the ceiling, which is related to a ship's construction, although it has been renewed today. in the Sala de las Pinas (Piniensaal) is a copy of the ceiling with pine cone motifs that was originally installed here in the 15th century. The Dormitorio del Rey (Royal bedchamber) is furnished in a historicizing way. in the Sala des Reyes (Hall of the Kings) there is a frieze with the genealogy of the Spanish kings from Pelayo to Joan the Mad. This frieze was added during the restoration work in the 19th century. The chapel was also given a ceiling from the 15th century. From the north-western tip of the castle you have a great view to the south of the sierra.

    The house was built around 1500 by the family of the royal treasurer de la Hoz. It got its name from the stone spikes on the facade. The front is covered with continuous rows of diamond-shaped stones that are slightly offset vertically, creating a wickerwork-like ornament that is reminiscent of the Mudejar style.

  • 10  roman aqueduct, Plaza del Azoguejo s / n. Roman aqueduct in the Wikipedia encyclopediaRoman aqueduct in the media directory Wikimedia CommonsRoman aqueduct (Q244947) in the Wikidata database.
    The symbol of Segovia. It was built during the reign of Emperor Trajan (98 to 117 AD), is 728 meters long, up to 29 meters high and consists of 166 arches, some of which are two-story. It is made up of around 25,000 blocks of granite that were joined together without the aid of mortar. The aqueduct remained intact during the Visigothic and Moorish rule. In 1072, when the Moors invaded from Toledo, 36 arches in the southern part were destroyed. They were rebuilt in the 15th century. Already in ancient times there were two niches in which there were probably pagan statues of gods. At the time of the Catholic Kings, they were replaced by images of St. Sebastian and the Blessed Virgin. A legend about the construction of the aqueduct was written in bronze letters under the niches. Today only a few traces of it can be seen. From its beginning in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, the aqueduct is a total of 14,965 meters long. The arches span a distance of 958 meters. At its highest point, the aqueduct is 28.10 meters high. It has a total of 166 arcs. This hydraulic engineering masterpiece consists of large granite blocks from the Sierra de Guadarrama that stick together without mortar. The water runs through a canal on the top and traverses the city underground to the Alkazar. The aqueduct was declared a national monument in 1884 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
  • City walls and city gates. The parts of the city walls still preserved today go back to the renovation after the Reconquista in the 11th century. They originally had a length of 2,900 meters. When it was built, remains of the Roman wall were reused. Of the seven originally existing gates, only the Puerta San Cebrian, the Puerta Santiago towards the Eresma Valley and the Puerta San Andres towards the southwest, restored under Charles V, have been preserved.
