Main programme activities in Segovia: History, Culture and Spanish Courses

Activities we highlight

It is one of the city's most important monuments. In the Middle Ages, due to its security and proximity to hunting grounds, the Alcázar became one of the favorite residences of the Kings of Castile, especially Alfonso X.

La Granja De San Ildefonso Royal Palace

It was once a royal residence and is an example of European palace architecture. In the 18th century, Philip V ordered the construction of the Royal Palace of San Ildefonso, a magnificent example of European palace architecture. Its gardens and fountains are in the style of Versailles, with constant allusions to legend and mythology, and its rooms are decorated with marble, Japanese lacquer and crystal chandeliers.

Spanish Courses

The school has a modern space with different classrooms suitable for school groups.

Excursion to Madrid

The country's largest and most populous city. As Spain's capital, Madrid is the seat of the government, parliament, ministries, institutions and related bodies, as well as the official residence of Spain's monarchs. It is an influential cultural center and is home to world-class museums.

Aqueduct

It is the most important example of Roman civil engineering in Spain and one of the most significant and best preserved of those left by the Romans in the Iberian Peninsula. Its 20,400 stone blocks are neither cemented nor bonded together by any substance, and they remain as a solid, perfect block to this day.

Excursion To Avila

Its medieval old town, in excellent condition, was declared a World Heritage Site in 1985.

Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de el Escorial

The monastery of El Escorial was the first example of the architectural style known as Herrerian, after its creator, Juan de Herrera. It is listed as a World Heritage Site.

The palace was once a residence of the Spanish royal family, the basilica is the burial place of the monarchs of Spain, and the monastery is currently occupied by monks of the Order of St. Augustine.

Pedraza
