The Segovia Cathedral stands at the highest point of the old city, its buttresses and spire dominating the skyline. Known as the "Lady of Cathedrals" for its elegant proportions, it is the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain and contains some fine late-Gothic detail alongside Renaissance chapels added over the following century. The cloisters, relocated stone by stone from the destroyed earlier cathedral, are particularly lovely.
The interior is spacious and well-lit, with a carved choir and a notable tapestry collection. The attached museum has paintings by Rubens and a collection of Flemish tapestries. Entry to the cathedral is through the south door and costs a few euros; the views from the exterior are free and just as good. The cathedral sits on the Plaza Mayor, which itself is one of the nicest squares in Castile for an outdoor coffee.
