The Cathedral of Segovia is very impressive from the outside (It's one of the biggest cathedrals we saw while in Spain) We decided not to go in since we were kind of "cathedral'd out" but if the outside looked this spectacular I can only imagine what it looks like on the inside. You can get some great views of the... More

This cathedral is truly amazing inside and out. I haven't seen any others quite like it. It has colossal dimensions and an imposing presence in both the interior and the exterior. It was one of the most impressive cathedrals I have seen. More

It depends what you look for. If you want to expend your time watching as places as you can, then you can pay the fee and visit. But when you have been in cathedrals as leon, Salamanca, Burgos and then you visit this, the differences are giant. More

Each corner of this glorious cathedral is a delight even to my jaded eye, which compares to often such edifices with the Masterpieces of France and Italy. A top spot to see More

When in Segovia, a visit to the Cathedral is a must. It is large, imposing and an impressive piece of architecture. Apparently it was the last great Gothic structure built in Spain. While not the most ornate of cathedrals, it is nonetheless beautiful, with more than 20 chapels and some impressive works of art. More

The imposing chatedral dominates the old town, and I thought the exterior might overshadow the interior...it does not. More
