Casa del Sol - Museo de Segovia

About

Casa del Sol, home to part of the Museo de Segovia, is one of the city’s most atmospheric cultural spaces, set along the ancient defensive walls with sweeping views over the Eresma Valley. Housed in a former military building that once guarded the city, it blends stone architecture with a serene, elevated setting that feels both historic and contemplative. Inside, the museum presents a diverse collection that traces Segovia’s past through archaeology, medieval art, and everyday objects that reveal how the city evolved across centuries. Roman mosaics, Visigothic pieces, and traditional crafts offer a vivid sense of continuity, while the building itself adds to the experience with its thick walls and strategic vantage point. Casa del Sol stands as a reminder that Segovia’s heritage is not only found in its grand monuments but also in the quieter spaces where history, landscape, and culture come together in harmony.

Location

The Casa del Sol – Museo de Segovia is located in the historic centre of Segovia, at Calle del Socorro, 11, in the old town just off the main streets near the western edge of the city wall. It stands a short walk from the main attractions, very close to the Alcázar of Segovia, the Cathedral of Segovia, and the Plaza Mayor, with the Real Casa de la Moneda (Royal Mint) and the Museo del Teatro Figurativo Francisco Peralta also nearby. The museum is just a few minutes from the old Jewish Quarter (Judería), the Church of San Martín, and the main tourist route through the city, making it convenient for visitors exploring Segovia’s historic sights on foot.
