Alcàzar de Segovia

After the museum we walked around to the Royal Alcàzar. Another spectacular building. Looks like it was built yesterday! Incredibly high on the side of a hill, almost get vertigo just looking down. I can’t imagine how hard this must have been to construct back in the day.

The detail on the ceiling design in a number of rooms is amazing and I loved the geometric designs and colours on the tiles. Don’t skip this if you come to Segovia. It’s easy walking distance from the aqueduct

There is a well at one section, you could see down and it looked deceptively shallow. I dropped a one euro coin in and it took a few seconds before you heard the splash and at that point it was clear the well was very very deep. No wonder it has bars across it.

It looks brand new
Amazing ceilings
Beautiful stained glass
Very deep well.
