From the monastery of El Parral, from the church of La Vera Cruz, from the heights of the shrine of our Lady of La Fuencisla… harmonizing with the various phases of the beautiful landscape of Segovia, the outline of the Castle puts his note of romantic beauty.
The silhouette of the Castle rising above the imposing limestone rock has been compared many times with the bow of a ship that seems to traverse the vast plains of Castile, defying the winds.
Around the rivers Eresma and Clamores (now buried), beautiful protected landscapes encircle the fortress. In the background, the mountains of Guadarrama show its Dead Woman, covered by a white blanket of snow.
