The Cathedral of Segovia

The Cathedral of Segovia is the last Gothic-style cathedral built in Spain. After the Revolt of the Comuneros (1520-1522), the old cathedral, located across from the Alcázar of Segovia, was partially destroyed. In 1525, construction of the current cathedral began by order of King Charles I.

Dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption and Saint Fructus, this Catholic church, the bishop's see, follows the designs of master builder Juan Gil de Hontañón and is known as the "Lady of Cathedrals" for its elegance and slenderness. After three building campaigns, it was consecrated on July 16, 1768.

The Cathedral Chapter welcomes visitors and invites them to discover the history, art, and religious significance of the entire complex, which includes four exhibition halls and the Gothic cloister. This cultural offering is complemented by a guided tour of the tower, Segovia's highest viewpoint at 88 meters, to enjoy a unique panoramic view of the city.
