This seemingly charming fairy tale palace is a majestic fortress erected between the Eresma and Clamores rivers, which was inhabited by the kings of Castile for many years. Located in the beautiful and strategic Segovia, its origins can be traced back to Roman times, although it was not until the reign of Alfonso VII when the "alcaçar" was mentioned in a document archived in the cathedral. Residence of Alfonso Favorite residence of the Trastámara family, it was the headquarters of the royal archive, the royal treasury and the royal armory, as well as the coronation of Isabel la Católica. The House of the Austrias, officiated here the marriage between Philip II and Anne of Austria. Later, the castle was a state prison. Carlos III established the Royal College of Artillery there, whose 250th anniversary was the last official act of Juan Carlos I.

Built in 1745 by order of the Marquis of Iturbieta, what today are large ruins were the walls of a shearing house that collected wool from up to 77,000 sheep annually. With three large rooms (enclosure, ranch and peguera), it had an upper floor where the owners lived during the work season. During the month of May, up to 300 shearers lived in a building with a large bedroom, a kitchen, a bakery and a refectory. During the second half of s. XIX and the end of the Mesta council, it lost its functionality and became an enclosure or quarry until it was abandoned and demolished.

The Río Eresma is what has created the holes used by the castle and which give it immense walls, but there are bridges like the one there that allow you to go from one side of the same river to the other. The arch welcomes the city.
