Iglesia de San Andrés Segovia

About

Iglesia de San Andrés is a charming Romanesque church that crowns one of Segovia’s quiet hilltops, offering both architectural beauty and a sense of timeless serenity. Dating from the twelfth century, the building preserves the warm stone, semicircular arches, and sturdy proportions characteristic of Segovia’s medieval style. Its exterior is marked by an elegant arcaded gallery and a robust tower that once served as a watchful presence over the surrounding neighbourhood. Inside, the church reveals a simple yet evocative space, with sculpted capitals, soft natural light, and traces of ancient decoration that speak to centuries of devotion. San Andrés has long been tied to local traditions and community life, making it not only a historic monument but also a living part of Segovia’s cultural identity.

The Iglesia de San Andrés is located in Segovia’s old town, in the Plaza de la Merced, just off Calle San Andrés, a short walk from the Cathedral and on the usual route between the Cathedral and the Alcázar. It stands in the heart of the historic centre, very close to the Segovia Cathedral, only a few minutes’ walk from Plaza Mayor, and within easy reach of the Roman Aqueduct and the Alcázar. Nearby, the area is near the Jewish Quarter (Judería), the Church of San Martín and Plaza de San Martín, the Torreón de Lozoya, the Casa de los Picos, and a short stroll from the Teatro Juan Bravo, Museo Zuloaga, and the main tourist office on Plaza del Azoguejo, all linked by Segovia’s typical medieval streets and squares.
