Catedral de Segovia

Very beautiful and the tower tour is one of the best explained and arranged. Total of 190 steps, after first 70 a multimedia video rest stop, another 60 to clock watcher's house, then 60 to the top. Fran the young guide is very knowledgeable and looks after all attendees, so if you climb slow, you are fine. Only Spanish guide, but audio in other languages available.

We did the 1 hour tour through the tower and it is soooo worth it. This cathedral is beautiful, there is so much history and mystery to be pondered on here. You will be able to get the best view in town from the top of the tower. Just note that you will have to climb 190 steps in 3 sections. Not recommended for people with mobility issues as it is quite the climb. Bring water. Worth exploring the art gallery and exhibitions in the claustro.

Four euros to enter for a basic visit. Stunning inside. You get a leaflet with your ticket naming all the chapels. Its full name is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and San Frutos. Following the late Gothic Style, the construction began in 1525 and consecrated in 1768. Its current height is 88 meters and has 161 stained glass windows creating amazing light.

The Cathedral of Segovia is in Spain’s “rock star” collection of cathedrals. For it’s elevated, elegant and elated atmosphere, it has been renamed the “The Lady of the cathedrals” and a visit inside will convince you why. For a cheap entry fee, you will be exposed to an overwhelming collection of woodworks, stained glass, high ceilings, religious art, carvings, sculptures and illustrations. Notice the details, and there is a lot to notice. We loved how realistic the wood and/or plaster sculptures. The visit is very relaxing as the cathedral evokes peacefulness and introspection. You can also add a guided tour + tower access for more €. Highly recommended if you pass by Segovia for the richness of the collection and preservation of the building.

Cathedral de Segovia was one of the many cathedrals we visited in Spain. Although it is modest compared to the other opulent cathedrals in Cordoba, Sevilla & Granada, the gothic-style structure looks elegant and graceful. We noticed that the walls are decorated with pointed arches, tall spires, and intricate carvings, showing incredible attention to detail. Inside, many small statues of saints add character to the building, its spacious interior, light-filled layout with soaring Gothic arches and tall columns creates a sense of grandeur and serenity. Its proximity to the Alcázar of Segovia adds to its dramatic and picturesque presence in the city’s skyline.

Its amazing how people use to build with such details back then. We dont have that anymore. Inside is stunning, the art collection is impressive, and everything that theirs to see is a must.

The Cathedral of Segovia is an architectural masterpiece and a stunning example of late Gothic design. Known as “The Lady of Cathedrals” for its elegance, it features soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and beautifully carved details that captivate visitors. Its towering bell tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of Segovia and its surroundings. The interior is equally impressive, with its chapels, altarpieces, and serene atmosphere. Located in the heart of the old town, the cathedral’s presence adds a majestic charm to the Plaza Mayor. While the entrance fee is modest, the experience of exploring such a historic and spiritual space is priceless. Definitely worth a visit!

Very beautiful, solemn, and majestic cathedral. I loved the courtyard and the informational side of the cathedral. Worth a visit.

A Book by Its Cover It's not the the interior is unimpressive; quite the opposite, really. It is stunning. However, the best views of this cathedral are of its exterior. Whether you are standing close (perhaps in Plaza Mayor) or viewing it from afar, its presence utterly dominates the old town. If you have the time and the flexibility, make it a point to find one of the many locations beyond the confines of the town to experience the majestic views provided by the mountains as a backdrop. It will take your breath away.

Segovia, with a small population of about 35,000 people, has a ridiculously gargantuan and incredible cathedral. This giant Gothic church was built from 1525-1768, and was the last major Gothic church built in Spain. The inside is impressive as with any church at this level, but I found the golden exterior and all its sky piercing pinnacles much more impressionable. Unfortunately due to lack of time(damn tour group!) I didn't get a chance to ascent the 300 foot tall and 190 step tower. One can only imagine what incredible aerial views could be see of the aquaduct and alcazar. €7 to see both the cathedral and the tower, or just €3 without the tower.

The Cathedral of Segovia is a great example of the late Gothic style in the 16th century. Its construction began in 1525 during the reign of Emperor Carlos V and it was consecrated in 1768. The Cathedral is located off the Plaza Mayor within the old city walls, and it is easily identified from the distance by its tall tower. The Cathedral stands on the spot where Isabella I was proclaimed Queen of Castile. Affectionately called La Dama de Las Catedrales, Segovia Cathedral combines a supremely Gothic exterior combined with a surprisingly bare interior. Admission to the Cathedral, Cloister, Chapel room, and Museum will set you back €2. However, hours may be limited by when Mass is held.

Okay. To be honest, we stumbled upon this ... and not exactly by accident. We didn't plan our Segovia trip ... figured we get there and meander around. Whatever I know, I know from wiki. =PP It's hard not to find yourself accidentally meandering into the main (and only?) Cathedral in Segovia (once had the tallest tower in Spain). While definitely less impressive as Gaudi's famed Sagrada Familia, the Catedral has it's own charm. It's an active church, when we were there we happened upon mass taking place in one end and the other open for the public. I especially loved seeing the intricate artwork on the turrets as well as the interior sculptures depicting stories in the bible. The sculptures are behind bars so viewable but not accessible to the public. Incredibly well maintained. If you're hankering to see another Roman Cathedral, then look no further. It's smack right in the Plaza Mayor ... hard to miss.

Beautiful and a must see. There are restaurants nearby where you can eat or have coffee with a view of this place. We went on a Sunday therefor we didn't walk inside because of mass but I can imagine that it is worth seeing.

It is very nice, however we have visited so many of the churches in the world already. It is not the most impressive one. But if you are in Segovia, for sure it worth your time to visit. When you visit Segovia I would suggest that you should also at least visit the Alcazar which is also as impressive or even more so.
