Along with the Roman aquaduct and the alcazar, this is one of the three 'must see' sights in historic Segovia. The cathedral was the last of the great Gothic cathedrals to be built in Spain and is a wonderful example of this style of architecture.

Impressive from the outside and also inside, the entrance fee was three Euro's, money well spent. You will need at least an hour to view this cathedral properly. There is no restriction on taking photographs. Wear something warm as it can be a little chilly inside.

Segovia Cathedral is a must see when visiting this beautiful city. For only 3 euros you can get entrance to the cathedral and we spent a long time visiting the different parts and soaking up the beauty of it. The atmosphere was wonderful and the decorations awe inspiring. Definitely worth a visit.

Completed in the 16th century it is just another mind boggling sight in Segovia. To think that the engineers built this edifice without any of the modern day aids is just amazing. We couldnt do it today...labour costs being what they are.

While the cathedral is central to the city, you don't really understand how impressive it is until you get to it. The interior is very impressive as well.

Yes it's another gorgeous Cathedral - if you haven't seen many then I would go into this Cathedral, however if you have seen a couple recently it's not necessary.

Even though it was May, it was a hot day. We went to the Cathedral on the way to Alcazar. We were so grateful the inside of the Cathedral was so cooling. It made it easier for us to enjoy the place. I love the building architecture.

This Catedral is amazing. Admission is 3 euro, it is a nice walk with lots of shops to see on the way. I consider this a must see while in Segovia.

Segovia deserve to spend a full day... many things to enjoy... from walk araund the old town, to see roman builds (acueducto) to catholic cathedral. Winter can be cold. dont forget to eat the local specialities: cordero (lamb), cochinillo (baby pig).
