The Cathedral of Segovia (Spain)<\/strong> was built between the 16th and 18th centuries. <\/span>It is considered one of the best surviving examples of 16th century Gothic architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1520, the cathedral suffered severe damage and plans were made to rebuild it or raise a new one elsewhere. In 1523, Carlos I authorised the construction of a new cathedral, and the first stone was laid on the 8th of June, 1525. <\/span>Eminent talented architects, including Juan Gil de Honta\u00f1\u00f3n, Rodrigo Gil de Honta\u00f1\u00f3n (16th century) and the Baroque architect from Segovia, Pedro de Brizuela (17th century), were involved in its construction. They were all masters of their craft, who added elements from other styles, transforming the Cathedral of Segovia into a jewel of Spanish artistic heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n
