Alcázar
Standing majestically on a high rocky crag, dominating Segovia’s skyline, the Alcázar is a wonderful sight, simply breathtaking. It is believed that this magnificent castle inspired two iconic Disney castles Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella Castle. Disney also used the Alcázar inspiration again to design Cinderella Castle, the symbolic fairytale castle of Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland.
The Alcázar was built on the site of a 12th century Roman fort, but apart from the foundations, little of the original structure remains. It's one of the most famous castles among the Spanish Kings, as they chose to reside here for its charming exterior, that shaped like the bow of a ship.
