This fortified palace has a history dating back to Roman times. It’s function changed many times - a palace, a prison and an armoury. It burned in 1872 but was then rebuilt based on much of its original layout and rooms. There was an excellent audio guide. The restoration reminded me of how well many of the palaces in St Petersburg have been reconstructed.
It was cold (Segovia is at 3000 feet) and then it started to rain but I had a hot choclate in the cafeteria to get warmed up before taking the bus back to the railway station.
