Our walk begins in the heart of the city at the Azoguejo meeting point and former trading centre where a series of streets and roads converge and crossed by the Roman aqueduct that carried water from La Acebeda, stretching across the city as far as the Royal Fortress.
Along this route, the urban landscape is dotted with churches such as San Clemente, San Esteban or San Martín. Not to be missed is a visit to Segovia Cathedral, built in the Late Gothic style and an authentic jewel that boasts one of the tallest towers in Spain.
This route includes the following sites of interest: the Church of San Clemente, the Church of San Millán, the Church of San Justo, the Church of e San Martín, Segovia’s main synagogue, the Church of San Miguel, Segovia Cathedral, the Church of San Andrés, the Church of de San Esteban and the Church of San Quirce.
