Alcázar de Segovia

Inside the monument and around the Patio de Armas - where periodically chamber music concerts are housed - and the Patio del Reloj, we can find the rooms. Particularly notable for their beauty, we must pay attention to the Ajimeces Room; the Galera Room – which coffered ceiling has been recently rebuilt – the Throne Room – with an outstanding mudejar ceiling; the Chimney Room; the Cord Room; the Pineapples Room; the Royal Chamber; the Queen's Dressing Room and the Chapel. Above everyone, the Kings Chamber stands out, containing an extraordinary coffered ceiling made of golden hexagons and rhomboids, and a curious frieze displaying 52 sitting images, polychromed, of the Kings and Queens of Asturias, Leon and Castilla from Don Pelayo to the Queen Juana I.
