Segovia - Plaza Mayor

Northwest of San Martín is the Plaza Mayor, the lively center of the old town, with pavement cafes and a bandstand in the middle. On the north side is the plain Ayuntamiento (Town Hall; 17th C.), on the southeast side the church of San Miguel (by Gil de Hontañón, 1558), which has a fine high altar of 1572 and a number of tombs. Isabella the Catholic was proclaimed queen in this church.
