Constructed in the mid-16th century, this stunning Gothic-style cathedral is located in the UNESCO-listed old center of Segovia. The cathedral's tower pierces the sky at 88 meters-high, dominating the cityscape, and its ornate slender design has afforded it the nickname 'The Lady of Cathedrals'.

The Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso is an 18th-century palace in Segovia, 80 km from Madrid. Commissioned by Philip V, the 146-hectare site also boasts enormous gardens, alive with fountains and sculptures, which are often compared to that of the Palace of Versailles.

The Royal Mint of Segovia is located in Segovia, Spain.
