Iglesia de San Miguel

About

Iglesia de San Miguel stands at the heart of Segovia’s Plaza Mayor, a church deeply woven into the city’s civic and religious history. Rebuilt in the sixteenth century after the collapse of an earlier medieval structure, it preserves a harmonious blend of Gothic and early Baroque elements. Its elegant façade and slender tower rise above the square, creating a striking backdrop for daily life and local celebrations. Inside, the church offers a warm, intimate atmosphere, with altarpieces, chapels, and sculpted details that reflect centuries of devotion. San Miguel is also known as the site where Queen Isabella the Catholic was proclaimed in 1474, a moment that shaped the course of Spanish history. Today, it remains a vibrant landmark, connecting Segovia’s past with the rhythm of its modern city life.
