We went to the Alcázar of Segovia the day before we left for the United States. We bought our tickets in the building in the plaza of the Alcázar and with our student cards, tickets to the towers and general admission were €5.
We headed into the Alcázar and entered into the Patio de las Armas.
Off the side of that was the start of the museum. The first room had suits of armor, some of which were very small. (I don't know if it was actually armor or just a model. I'm going with a model.)
After that, we headed into the next room, which was a small dining room. Following that was a really cool throne room with a beautiful stained glass window. I think this room was one of my favorite rooms.
After that we continued going through different rooms. One of the next rooms was a dining room with a long table. Around the top of the walls, different images of kings and queens were painted, which I also thought was really interesting and beautiful.
Following the pathway, we went past a bedroom (the bed was tiny!) and a small chapel. We also saw a lot of stained glass windows, which I really liked cause I've always liked stained glass. The views from the Alcázar were also stunning.
At the end, there was an exit to the patio del pozo, where you could see the land behind the Alcázar. I really liked this area because it was really pretty and looked picturesque.
We started heading out and went through the second main patio, the patio del reloj.
We looked off of it and there was a room where you could look at different armor for both horses and humans. There were also cannons and cannon balls as well as flags.
After all of this, we headed up to the towers, which was so cool! Going up and down was really tight because the towers were only really made for one person but people were going up and down. However, once you got up to the top, you could see all of Segovia and it was gorgeous.
