    Amazing Cathedral.  There is an admission fee, you pay at the booth before you enter the cathedral.  Advanced tickets are not necessary. You can also pay to go up the top of the belltower for beautiful views of Segovia.  Be warned, the stairwell up to the top is long, dark, with many, many stairs.  They break it out with small breaks on two floors.  They show a video of the history of the cathedral on the first break.  The second break is a tour of the bell tower quarters.  The views from the top are beautiful and fully worth the effort to make it to the top.

    Amazing Cathedral. Much more impressive than Madrid's Cathedral. Not as much as Toledo's Cathedral, of course, but not far from it. Ac total must in Segovia Just take a look at the pictures.

    Segovia Cathedral is the Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral located in the main square (Plaza Mayor) of the city of Segovia, in the community of Castile-Leon, Spain. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the Flamboyant Gothic style in the mid-16th century. Beautiful piece of art and architecture that everyone must visit if around Segovia or even Madrid.

    The Cathedral de Segovia is an absolute masterpiece that took my breath away. Its towering spires, intricate façade, and stunning interior left me in awe. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a sense of serenity and the sheer magnitude of its architectural details. The intricate stained glass windows cast a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors across the walls, creating a surreal atmosphere. The combination of Gothic and Renaissance styles seamlessly integrated in its design reflects the rich history and cultural evolution of the region. Climbing to the top of the tower provided a panoramic view of the city that was absolutely worth the effort. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply seeking a place of tranquility, the Cathedral de Segovia is an experience that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

    Of the many beautiful cathedrals of Europe, this one is another amazing find. A remarkable art museum is below the cathedral.

    Wow, impressive. We had a quick walk through, and did not go up to the tower. A guided tour is available and tower visits must be reserved but possible to do at the moment.

    Is a must see cathedral in Madrid. Worth that 68km drive to Segovia and just so many things to learn and appreciate. And again not able to show all the amazing pictures so you just have to come see for yourself

    £4 entry. Well worth it. Spectacular place. Try and visit when there are no tour groups, it's much quiter. Weekends are much busier than weekdays.

    Usually I’m very reluctant against paying access to see a religious monument, but here I took my chance, and it didn’t disappoint. Only once you are inside you will find out how gigantic this building really is. With different separate areas to discover and even a complete paintings exposition in the basement, or a nice patio you can’t see from the outside. Would definitely recommend

    The Cathedral is an impressive building on itself, admire history and art of Castilla and beyond within it's walls. The 2 baroque organs in the Choir are 2 of the most beautiful I've seen. Go up the 190 steps (in 3 stages) of the tower to know secrets and visit the bell-ringer"s home and admire the views towering Segovia and beyond. You're lucky if you get Santi as your guide!

    The Cathedral of Segovia is a breathtaking embodiment of Gothic architecture, standing as an awe-inspiring tribute to spiritual devotion and artistic grandeur. As you step inside, you're instantly enveloped in an atmosphere of serene reverence, the intricate stone carvings and expansive stained glass windows lending an almost ethereal quality to the air. It's a place that seems to capture the essence of centuries of faith and craftsmanship, extending a palpable connection to generations past. But what made our visit truly unforgettable was receiving a blessing from the resident priest. It was an intimate and heartfelt moment that added a personal touch to the majesty surrounding us. In that instant, the immense edifice felt like a close-knit community, making us feel connected not just to a magnificent structure, but also to a living tradition of faith. The Cathedral of Segovia, with its towering spires and intricate details, was not just a place to admire from a distance, but a sacred space that welcomed us into its long-standing history of spirituality.

    One of the most beautiful churches in Spain. Also quite a nice collection of art. A must visit.

    We booked this on line and includes the cathedral and tower visits. An incredible building with many paintings and items of interest. The tours are in Spanish but audio is provided in your language if required. We walked around the cathedral without the guide. The tower tour was an hour and quite a climb up the spiral staircase although there are stops on the way. All very interesting and worth the views from the bell room at the top

    So many churches to see in Spain soo little time:) there are literally hundreds of churches to visit in Spain but the Segovia Cathedral is beautiful. So after your visit to the Alcazar you definitely need to stop by on your way to the plaza to sit and admire its beauty.

    The Cathedral is more impressive from the outside than inside, particularly with it's close proximity to the Plaza Mayor. When the lights come on at night, you can get some great photos from the Plaza. Having said that, the Spanish do their cathedrals really well. The inside was not as well decorated as many others, but I still recommend a visit.

    Absolutely beautiful! A welcome relief from the August heat into the peace and tranquility. Lovely experience.

  • 5/5 Jolana Z. 11 months ago on Google
    A breathtaking and breathtaking building, the last great European Gothic building. Definitely worth a visit! Impressive inside and out. A guided tour of the cathedral's bell tower is an experience, the tour also includes a great film about the cathedral and its history.

    A very magnificent church that really took my breath away!!! Very elegant, delicately designed Gothic church located in the Plaza Mayor of Segovia, which is one of the highlights of our Segovia walking tour. It's really worth our dollar and our time 😊

    Beautiful structure. Somehow I thought it was a good idea to take the guided tour to the top. While the bell ringer's apartment was interesting to see, my legs felt as of the would fall off! Still 5 stars and must visit

  • 5/5 Umpy P. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a nice cathedral. Probably the best I’ve seen outside of a huge city. We enjoyed our visit- although it was quick it was nice to walk around and enjoy the place. The staff was nice and prompt. We would have climbed up to the top but didn’t see a way to get up there! Sad!

    One of the most beautiful cathedrals you will ever see. No matter if you are an art-lover or you are not one them, once you are in Segovia, you must visit this place. I recommend you to join to a guided visit, so that you can understand the complexity of the building, how it was built, why it was built there, the challenges the builders had to face when it was built... Also, do not miss the artworks inside the whole area;paintings, sculptures, cult-objects,... This visit will make you understand not only the cathedral, but also the way of living of people from Segovia.

    Truly stunning Cathedral with fantastic architecture and cloisters. Interesting art collection in the lower area. Worth visiting, we didn't have time for the guided tour of the tower which I'm sure would have been amazing.

    I visited the Catedral de Segovia as part of my day trip to Segovia with Fun and Tickets. It is the second largest cathedral in Spain and worth a visit if you are in Segovia or in the surrounding area. It is also located on the road leading from the Alcazar to the aqueduct, next to a square where you can get something to eat. It's an impressive building, both from the outside and the inside. The ceiling is really high, characteristic of the building style. We didn't visit the whole thing, but we have a look at the choir where the organs gleamed and the immense music books were on display. In the inner courtyard, you can look up at the tower and admire some statues. Inside, there are also a number of smaller sections for praying to a specific saint. Without a guide, I wouldn't know any of them or their symbolising and it was interesting to learn about it.

    You just can't go wrong with Spanish cathedrals. And this one is extraordinary inside and out. Built with Gothic and Renaissance components, it's truly a beautiful piece of artistic architecture. Do yourself a favor, and spend the extra 3 Euros to go on the tower tour. It's worth the climb for great views of the city amd surrounding countryside.

    Beautiful exterior rivaling Burgos and Leon's fine cathedrals. Central location in Casco Viejo with many great sites nearby. Looks incredible at night.

  • 5/5 Frank A. 1 year ago on Google
    Segovia is like traveling back in time to the times of the Knights Templar, Kings and Queens. It is a place full of magic and its beautiful Cathedral is the point where you can appreciate this beautiful place in a 360° view.

  • 5/5 General D. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful cathedral with an interesting tour of the bell tower, if you can take all the steps to the top! Incredible views across the entire region from all sides will reward your climb!

  • 5/5 Gabrielle M. 1 year ago on Google
    The last Gothic Cathedral to be built in Spain. When I entered this cathedral I was at awe with the ceiling height! Compared to other Gothic cathedrals, this pales in comparison - BUT there is beauty in simplicity. It is simple but majestic in its own. What I liked about this cathedral is how light enters into the spaces and creates a sense of peace and tranquility.
