Segovia Cathedral is a late Gothic cathedral beside the Plaza Mayor, begun in 1525 by Juan Gil de Hontañón after the old cathedral next to the Alcázar was wrecked in the Revolt of the Comuneros, and consecrated in 1768. The visit takes in the chapels, the cloister brought over from the old cathedral and the chapter house.
The Monastery of Santa María del Parral is a Hieronymite monastery in the Eresma valley below Segovia's walls, founded by Henry IV of Castile in the mid-15th century and laid out by Juan Gallego. Monks of the Order of Saint Jerome have lived here again since the 1920s, and guided visits show the late Gothic church with its Renaissance high altarpiece and the Villena tombs.
The Iglesia de la Vera Cruz is a Romanesque church on the slope below Segovia's walls on the way to Zamarramala, dedicated in 1208. Its twelve-sided nave runs round a two-storey central chamber that recalls the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, and its bell tower faces the Alcázar across the valley.
