Episcopal palace of Segovia, Renaissance manor house near Cathedral, Segovia, Spain
The Episcopal Palace of Segovia is a Renaissance structure featuring two stacked interior courtyards lined with arched galleries. The lower level displays granite columns, while the upper floor is constructed from pale limestone.
The building was constructed in 1550 for a nobility family and remained a private residence for over two centuries. The Catholic Church acquired it in 1755 to serve as the bishop's official residence.
The building displays religious artworks and treasures collected over centuries by the diocese. Visitors can observe how the rooms reveal the taste and values of the church authorities who lived here.
Walking through the building requires sturdy shoes because the old city streets are paved with uneven cobblestones. Visiting in the morning is advisable to see the rooms with better natural light and fewer crowds.
The palace connects to Segovia's Cathedral through a hidden underground passage. This private corridor allowed bishops to reach the cathedral without walking through public streets.
