Segovia Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Segovia, Spain.
The cathedral features three tall naves reaching 33 meters in height, with a ground plan incorporating lateral chapels and a semicircular sanctuary with ambulatory.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1525 after a fire destroyed the previous Romanesque structure during the Comuneros War in 1520.
The interior contains twenty-one chapels decorated with paintings, ornaments, and religious artifacts representing different periods of Spanish religious art.
The cathedral offers guided tours of the bell tower, allowing visitors to climb 88 meters for views over the medieval city.
The cloister displays remarkable engineering achievement as it was transferred stone by stone from the previous cathedral to the current location.
