Itinerary

Casco Historico de Avila

It is sometimes called the Town of Stones and Saints, and it claims that it is one of the towns with the highest number of Romanesque and Gothic churches per capita in Spain

Las Murallas de Avila

The Walls of Ávila, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of Ávila's principal historic feature. These fortifications are the most complete in all of Spain.

Acueduct of Segovia

One of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and the foremost symbol of Segovia

Cattedrale Di Segovia

Segovia Cathedral is the Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral located in the main square of the city of Segovia. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in a Gothic style in the mid-16th century.

Real Alcazar de Segovia

The Alcázar of Segovia is a medieval alcázar located in the city of Segovia, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then. It is currently used as a museum and a military archives building.
