Segovia is home to the ninth convent founded by the saint, which had an eventful beginning.
She came to Segovia with five nuns, two of them from Segovia, the knight Antonio Gaitán, cleric Julián of Ávila and St. John of the Cross, confessor at La Encarnación Convent in Ávila. She began writing The Mansions here, at the Discalced Carmelite Convent of San José.
Every corner and street of Segovia will amaze you. Buildings and structures such as the aqueduct, cathedral and alcázar (fortress) evoke times long gone. Together with San Esteban, San Justo, San Martín and San Millán churches, they will remind you of a splendid past.
Don't forget to explore the nearly Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso (18th-century palace and gardens) and the Royal Palace of Riofrío.
