Segovia - La Santísima Trinidad

A Celtic castle existed here, from which resistance against the Romans originated. The city was nevertheless taken. Afterward, it began to be built as a Roman city and became an important Roman military base.

In the second half of the 5th century, Segovia became part of the Visigoth Empire. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, Segovia was under Moorish possession. In 1085 Alfonso VI conquered the city. From the 13th to the 15th century it was a royal residence.
La Santísima Trinidad was built in the 12th century, succeeding a smaller chapel from the end of the 11th century, the remains of which were discovered in 1984. The oldest part of the current church corresponds to the chancel, with the west door and atrium being a later work.To the south, as usual in the Segovian Romanesque period, is a gallery with colonnades based on semicircular arches on double columns.

The central portal.

Unfortunately, the church was locked.
