It’s actually very good to shoot from below. I didn’t shoot the taxi directly. Taxi five euros. The appearance is different from other 🏰. Isabella I was crowned/wedding here. Remember to go to the tower at the end, because the tower goes down and exits directly.
One of the best activities that I love to do in Segovia . Soo lovely

The Segovia Cathedral, which stands at the highest point of the ancient city of Segovia, has won the reputation of "the lady of the church" for its graceful and elegant shape.
In 1520, the old Romanesque church on the original site was burned down in the war; during the reign of Carlos V, the construction of the new church began in 1525 and took nearly 200 years to complete.
As the latest Gothic church built in Spain, the Segovia Cathedral is a classic of late Gothic architecture. The 88-meter-high Byzantine bell tower pierces the sky, the Romanesque arch is magnificent, the Gothic spire towers are scattered, and the towering main tower and the numerous small spires are set off, which makes the "lady" look more beautiful... In the Plaza Mayor in front of the church, enthusiastic tourists took photos with the cathedral as the background.
The capital of Segovia Province in the autonomous region of Castile and León, it is located north of the capital Madrid and can be reached in 35 minutes by high-speed train. The population is about 55,000. Its old town and aqueduct are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The most iconic and well-known landscape in Segovia, Spain, is the "Ancient Roman Aqueduct".
During the reign of Emperor Trajan of Ancient Rome (53-117 AD), in order to bring the water of the Frio River 18 kilometers away into the city of Segovia, the method of digging a canal and building an aqueduct was adopted to bring water into the city. The aqueduct, with a total length of 813 meters, is made of dry masonry (without mortar) of khaki granite, which is extremely solid and magnificent.
The aqueduct is 813 meters long, and 128 towering columns support 148 double-layer arches. The top of the trough is a water channel, which is more than 30 meters above the ground; the initial cross-section standard is 30X30cm, which was repaired and enlarged at the end of the 15th century, and was converted into a cement trough around 1930, and has been maintained and used ever since.
The aqueduct has become the city symbol of Segovia. The city emblem and flag of Segovia, the image of the aqueduct are in the center. In 1985, the ancient city of Segovia and the ancient Roman aqueduct were listed as world cultural heritage.
Today, the aqueduct stands at the southern end of the core tourist area of the ancient city of Segovia; the south side is the parking lot (vehicles are not allowed to enter the core tourist area), and the north side is the large square and the tourist center.
The bustling tourists coming and going, looking up and queuing up to take pictures, are all impressed by the unique and beautiful scenery.

Plaza Mayor, built in 1610, is located in the center of the city and is the largest of the N squares in the ancient city of Segovia.
The spacious square, with its shiny bluestone slabs showing its vicissitudes, the quaint iron pavilion sitting in the center, and the surrounding shops lined up one after another, with tourists looking around with interest.
The square is surrounded by exquisite buildings, including the Juan Bravo Theater with pink exterior walls completed in 1917 in the east, the Segovia Cathedral built in 1678 in the west, which is known as the "Lady in the Church", the San Miguel Church rebuilt in 1558 in the south, and the bright yellow City Hall built at the same time as the square in 1610 in the north... The colorful colors and diverse styles complement each other and shine.
Madrid also has a Plaza Mayor, which seems to be quite famous. The square is very big, and the sculpture in the middle is an important landmark here. From the square you can overlook the city, which is very beautiful. Order a beer and sit in the square, it feels very comfortable!
