About the Alcázar of Segovia
Perched in Segovia, a city in Castile and León, Spain, the Alcázar is a medieval castle whose history reaches back to at least the 12th century. It ranks among the most renowned medieval castles worldwide and among Spain's most visited landmarks. The fortress occupies a rocky crag at the western tip of the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, high above the spot where the rivers Eresma and Clamores meet.
Castilian monarchs used the Alcázar as a palace and as a fortress. The Homage tower held the Crown of Castile's treasure, and money drawn from it helped pay for Christopher Columbus's first voyage. Royal administration books arrived in 1437. In 1474, hearing of Henry IV's death, Isabella sheltered behind its walls, and the next day she was enthroned as Queen of Castile and León. Later, Philip II added slate spires with sharp points, in the manner of the castles of central Europe.
In 1998 a Royal Decree declared the Alcázar a National Archive, and it has been both a museum and a military archive since then. Over its history it also served at times as a state prison, as a Royal Artillery College and as a military academy. John II of Castile's tower was built in the first half of the fifteenth century and is in the Spanish Gothic style; two steep spiral staircases of 156 steps climb to its panoramic terrace. The castle's exterior features a Herrerian courtyard, a moat, a drawbridge and a keep.
