Let us show you the Castle of Coca
This castle dates back to the late 15th century and is the owned by the House of the Dukes of Alba, although it has been handed over to the Junta de Castilla y León.
Situated in the ancient Roman town of Cauca ’ today known as ‘Coca’ ’ it is an outstanding example of brick military architecture. It was built by Archbishop Alonso of Fonseca, during the reign of Henry IV of Castile in the late 15th century. At each corner of the two square enclosures stand polygon-shaped towers, one of which is the keep.

The Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, from the 18th century, is one of the most beautiful urban monumental squares in Europe. Construction began in 1729 at the behest of the corregidor Rodrigo Caballero Llanes. The project was carried out by the architect Alberto de Churriguera, who was followed by his nephew Manuel de Lara Churriguera and was completed by Andrés García de Quiñones in 1755. Located in the center of the city, it forms an irregular supported quadrilateral, with three floors in each facade, chaired by the City Council. In the Royal Pavilion, the effigy of King Fernando III El Santo stands out and the medallions of the spandrels on its arches represent Spanish monarchs. In the south pavilion, or of San Martín in the medallions, we see illustrious soldiers or conquerors, while in the petrineros pavilion, the figures of the medallions are characters of culture. Come and enjoy it!

Let us show you the Monastery of San Antonio el Real.
San Antonio el Real is one of the most beautiful and unique monastic complexes in Castilian heritage. Founded in the 15th century as a Franciscan convent and inhabited for centuries by the community of Poor Clares, it preserves a unique architecture and exceptional artistic wealth: coffered ceilings, coats of arms, altarpieces, royal chambers, and liturgical pieces have managed to overcome the implacability of time thanks to the care of the religious community that silently inhabited it. Today, it has reopened its doors to share that legacy. Art, spirituality, history, and memory unfold within its walls in a setting that combines contemplation, meditation, and living heritage.
The history of San Antonio el Real begins in 1454, when Prince Henry—the future Henry IV—received the El Campillo estate, a recreational spot in Segovia, from his father, John II. Upon ascending to the throne, he ceded it to the Franciscan Order, who built a convent there. Years later, Isabella the Catholic obtained a papal bull to move part of the community of Poor Clares to this space, where they would live for more than eight centuries. Within its walls, spiritual life and dynastic memory intertwine: it was an active convent, but also a royal hunting lodge, a residence linked to lineages, and a silent witness to disputes over the crown. The coats of arms of Henry IV and Joan of Avis, and the truncated history of La Beltraneja, still resonate in its rooms. The complex combines Gothic elements with notable Mudejar decoration and preserves valuable spaces: the refectory, chapter house, cloister, church, Baroque altar, and Flemish altarpieces. Today, that legacy is once again open to the world.

Let us show you the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia)
It was the summer residence of the Bourbons in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1720 Phillip V bought the land from the friars of the Parral community. The architect Teodoro Ardemans converted the building into a palace attached to the temple, flanked by four towers with slate capitals.
Palace with squares whose names denote their use: Plaza del Palacio, Plaza del Mercado, Plaza de Canónigos, Plaza de la Cebada, and another, for dreamers, called the Plaza de la Melancolía. It is in the neoclassical style.
The gardens were entrusted to a team from Versailles (France). The Royal Gardens ooze baroque elegance and are important for their rich botany and fountains.
Come and enjoy it!

Let us show you the Cathedral of Segovia.
It boasts a beautiful, radiant Baroque design, with wonderful altarpieces and one of the highest towers in Spain. It is known as the Lady of the Cathedrals because of is height and the depth of its naves.
The construction of this late Gothic church began in 1525, thanks to the generous collaboration of the people of Segovia and the initiative of the Gil de Hontañón family. Elegant and luminous, the cathedral stands on the site of the original Romanesque structure, which once stood before the Alcázar, but was destroyed during the wars of the Comunidades.
The interior is surprisingly stylised, with elegant proportions and an extraordinary refinement. The structure is supported by elegant pillars. Also noteworthy is the wide variety of altarpieces and the beautiful Capilla del Santísimo Sacramento.
