Iglesia de San Millán

Stunning 1100s church standing as great example of Romanesque architecture. Church is great addition to architecture of city making it unique and pretty.

The Church of San Millán is a true Romanesque jewel, one of the most important and best-preserved temples in Segovia and in all of Castile. Its exterior, with a beautiful porticoed atrium, immediately captures the eye, while the sculptural decoration of the capitals—featuring scenes such as the Three Wise Men—adds an extraordinary artistic richness. Inside, the Romanesque ensemble of the main altar stands out as a highlight. Built at the beginning of the 12th century, the church has retained its solemn beauty through the centuries, and its designation as a National Monument in 1931 feels more than deserved.

Beautiful church. We stumbled across this after dinner one evening to find an elegantly illuminated church that appeared historic and memorizing. Wanted to go inside but it appeared they were having a service.

The Romanesque architecture for churches is the more common one in Segovia. This church is a fine example. It took two centuries to finish building Iglesia de San Millán (11th to 13th). The results are simply beautiful. It's unfortunate that many churches in Segovia remain closed most of the time. As a tourist, you only get to see them from the outside. Try to get in on Sundays when some of them are open for liturgy.

Like most churches in Segovia, worth visiting. Attractive in and outside.

#Segovia #RomanicArt #worthtosee Church very near the bus station and on the way to the acueduct. It is worthy to surround it to enjoy its architecture.

I couldn’t get in but just passed by before leaving Segovia. Quiet district with a lovely garden.

A beautiful Romanesqu church, shame it was closed when I visited.
