Overview

Segovia Cathedral is the last Gothic cathedral to be built in Spain. Fronting the historic Plaza Mayor in Segovia, it stands on the spot where Isabella I was proclaimed Queen of Castile. Affectionately called la dama de las catedrales, Segovia cathedral has a supremely Gothic exterior combined with a surprisingly bare interior, but contains numerous treasures.

Know More about this tour


Discover the last Gothic cathedral with this admission ticket. Entrance is through the north transept. The interior, illuminated by 16th-century Flemish windows, is light, bare and uncluttered, with a large Gothic choir (15th-century, predating the cathedral) placed in the center. Across from the choir in the east end is the high altar, with an 18th-century altarpiece by Sabatini. The walls and apse are lined with more than 20 chapels. The third chapel on your right from the entrance (Capilla de San Cosme y San Damian) has a lamentation group in wood by the 17th-century Baroque sculptor Gregorio Fernndez. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel (created by the flamboyant Churriguera) features stained-glass windows, elaborately carved choir stalls, and 16th- and 17th-century paintings, including a reredos portraying the deposition of Christ from the cross by Juan de Juni. Across from the entrance, on the southern transept, is a door opening into the late-Gothic cloister, which is older than the cathedral it and the elaborate door leading into it were transported from the old cathedral and are the work of architect Juan Guas. Under the pavement immediately inside the cloisters are the tombs of Juan and Rodrigo Gil de Hontan; that these two lie in a space designed by Guas is appropriate, for the three men together dominated the last phase of the Gothic style in Spain. Off the cloister, a small museum of religious art, installed partly in the first-floor chapter house, has a white-and-gold 17th-century ceiling, a late example of Mudjar artesonado work. The museum contains jewelry, paintings, and a collection of rare antique manuscripts.

    Impresionante por dentro y espectacular por fuera, todo su contenido una maravilla, la considero un tesoro de nuestra cultura

    Wonderful visit! We booked online and didn't have to wait. We didn't waste any time at the gate. Beautiful cathedral.

    The lighting is amazing and shows off the paintings and statues very well. The bilingual (Spanish and English) short guide given upon entry is clear with a good map. The cathedral is wheelchair friendly. The staff were much more helpful than at other cathedrals we have visited in Spain. The entrance ticket includes entrance to the nearby Episcopal Palace which is well worth a visit. All the exhibits there are upstairs but the staff will let you use the hidden elevator upon request.

    La catedral de Segovia, es un edificio impresionante por su arquitectura y sus acabados únicos. Es un destino obligado en Segovia.

  • 06-May-2023

    De estilo gótico con rasgos renacentistas. Destacar el retablo, las vidrieras y el órgano. Horario 09:00-21:30. Precio 3€

    Es imprescindible entrar en la catedral si estas de visita en la ciudad. Es enorme tanto por fuera como por dentro. Esta a la mitad de camino entre el acueducto y el alcazar. Merece la pena pasar por taquilla y entrar, aunque tiene demasiado polvo que podrian limpiar

  • 22-Mar-2023

    A catedral é bonita, mas nada deslumbrante. Paga -se para entrar somente para visitá-la. Há ainda cobrança maior para a visita à torre, e que não pode ser feita por conta própria, mas somente nas visitas guiadas. Não fomos.

    Visita totalmente imprescindible. Un lugar de culto donde por precio módico se pueden contemplar verdaderamente obras de arte.
