Casa De Los Picos

About

Casa de los Picos is one of Segovia’s most distinctive Renaissance landmarks, instantly recognisable by the façade covered in more than 600 granite points that give the building its name. Built in the late fifteenth century, it reflects the rising power of noble families who sought to display their status through bold architectural statements. The diamond‑shaped stones catch the light throughout the day, creating shifting patterns that make the house feel almost sculptural. Behind this striking exterior lies a peaceful interior courtyard with elegant arcades, a reminder of the refined domestic life once lived here. Today the building hosts cultural exhibitions and craft workshops, allowing visitors to step inside a piece of Segovia’s artistic heritage while enjoying one of the city’s most photographed façades.
