This is the Cathedral lit up. Segovia looks completely different at night, and is even more beautiful. Not only does Segovia look different at night, it feels different. The city comes to life at night, especially on the weekend nights. People go out for tapas and drinks, and to socialize. Even at 3:00 in the morning, this cathedral is lit up like this. This picture can be seen as a representation of the people of the town, and the country. Even at 3:00 in the morning, people are awake, and out. Originally, the cathedral was built even closer to the Alcazar. However, during the war of the Communties it was destroyed and rebuilt in it's current location. Architect Juan Gil de Ontanon began the construction in 1525, and finally after three other architects, it was finished by Juan de Mugaguren in 1615. This, and the Cathedral of Salamanca are some of the most impressive gothic style cathedrals in the country. It is incredible to think that this cathedral was built in the 16th century, before any sort of advanced form of construction equipment had been invented. I don't think we could build something this impressive today, even with all of the technology we have.
