What makes Explore Segovia and Toledo Tour Departing from Madrid a unique experience ?
Segovia was declared a “World Heritage Site” by UNESCO in 1985 and has two areas: the upper, walled, and medieval area (notable for three of the seven access gates that existed along the wall), and the lower area, or outskirts, which is connected to the upper area by the Roman aqueduct.
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct and one of the most important and best-preserved ancient monuments left on the Iberian Peninsula by the Roman civilization. It is located in Spain and is the most significant symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city’s coat of arms.
The Alcázar of Segovia (in Spanish: Alcázar de Segovia) is a stone fortified palace located in the old town of Segovia, Spain. Built in a commanding position on a rocky cliff at the confluence of the Eresma and Clamores rivers, near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain due to its shape – resembling the prow of a ship. The alcázar was initially constructed as a fortress but has since served as a royal palace, state prison, Royal Artillery College, and military academy.
Toledo is an ancient city located on a hilltop overlooking the plains of Castilla-La Mancha, in central Spain. As the capital of the region, it is renowned for its medieval Arab, Jewish, and Christian monuments within its fortified old town. The city was also home to the Mannerist painter El Greco. The Moorish-style Bisagra Gate and the Mudéjar-style Sol Gate lead into the old quarter, where the lively Plaza de Zocodover is situated, serving as a bustling meeting point.
