Catedral de Segovia

What can else can I add to the mountain of reviews. This place is a piece of history, architecture is amazing and makes you wonder how everything was put together. Just a heads up, while the church can be viewed during their normal hours, you will need to buy separate tickets to tour the famous tower. If you’re looking for a killer view, would recommend the tours during their normal hours evening. Ours was at 9:30pm and it added to the experience.

Cathedral de Segovia – The “Lady of Cathedrals” 👑⛪ This stunning Gothic cathedral dominates the Segovia skyline — and trust me, it’s just as majestic inside as it is from afar. Nicknamed the “Lady of Cathedrals” for its elegance, this masterpiece was one of the last Gothic cathedrals built in Europe, completed in the 18th century — long after the Gothic era was technically over. Segovia clearly said: fashionably late, but iconic. Fun facts you’ll love: It was built between 1525 and 1768, after the original cathedral was destroyed during a revolt — and they didn’t hold back on the glow-up. It has 18 chapels, each with its own artwork, sculptures, and golden details — like a mini-museum hidden inside a cathedral. The bell tower rises 88 meters high — you can climb up for panoramic views of Segovia and the mountains beyond. Worth the leg workout! It mixes Gothic bones with Renaissance detailing, which makes it feel both grand and graceful. Peaceful, beautiful, and rich in history — the Cathedral de Segovia is a must-stop if you’re exploring the city. Don’t forget to look up — the vaulted ceilings are breathtaking!

What a beautiful cathedral! Every space is breathtaking. We did the "stained glass tour" which had a lot of great info (but note it is only in Spanish). If you love medieval art and architecture this is a must visit.

Stunning, beautiful cathedral. This is a gothic style building and it is the key main attraction of Segovia, historical site and it is well kept and maintained. A must visit! Amazing to see the insides. Really impressive! We came as part of guided tour, hence getting in and out was easy.

Included in the ticket for the tower (reviewed elsewhere) was entry to the rest of the cathedral and it seems that each cathedral we have visited on this trip gets more and more spectacular. There was more fabulous artwork throughout the building but especially in the underground galleries. The cloisters were just beautiful, especially with the low sun casting shadows across the floor. The rooms with clerical vestements and church trasures and reliqueries were certainly worth visiting too as was the Tapestries Room, although these were rather faded after 400 years. It was interesting that the paintings on display downstairs - including some famous ones - were listed by artist and then the title of the work. All in all I think we spent 2 hours in the cathedral.

Another beautiful building in Segovia, which didn't disappoint. Only 4 euros entrance per person, this also included a Ruben's in the cathedral and a separate gallery displaying more fantastic artwork.

The Cathedral of Segovia is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture. It is beautiful and elegant. Its soaring towers and intricate details make it a true symbol of the city's rich history and beauty.

Very beautiful cathedral. Built from the 16th century. It has beautiful paintings from that period and and from Flemish painters, beautiful ancient tapestries, silk robes and ofcourse the sculptures. One can spend the full day here. It is also a wonderful museum ! Just an hour from Madrid and €4 for tickets

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.
