This seemingly charming fairy tale palace is a majestic fortress erected between the Eresma and Clamores rivers, which was inhabited by the kings of Castile for many years. Located in the beautiful and strategic Segovia, its origins can be traced back to Roman times, although it was not until the reign of Alfonso VII when the "alcaçar" was mentioned in a document archived in the cathedral. Residence of Alfonso Favorite residence of the Trastámara family, it was the headquarters of the royal archive, the royal treasury and the royal armory, as well as the coronation of Isabel la Católica. The House of the Austrias, officiated here the marriage between Philip II and Anne of Austria. Later, the castle was a state prison. Carlos III established the Royal College of Artillery there, whose 250th anniversary was the last official act of Juan Carlos I. A mandatory visit if we stop in Segovia, the Herrerian patio, the moat, the keep and its views, the throne room of the Catholic Monarchs, the residence of the Burgoña family, the Galera room, the Royal Chamber, the Weapons room, the Royal College of Artillery museum and the general military archive of Segovia, are rooms that illustrate the historical, Royal, and military importance and cultural of this imposing fortress. Its views from the lower part, to the north, leave everyone who contemplates them breathless, being especially spectacular in the snow season.
