Segovia - Plazuela San Martín

From Casa de los Picos in Segovia, Calle Juan Bravo, lined by shops, bars and restaurants, leads to the picturesque little Plazuela de San Martín (on the right, above the street). In the center of the square is a fountain, with two figures of mermaids. From the steps up to the square, to the west, can be seen a house with a four-arched gallery between two larger houses. This was the birthplace of Juan Bravo, one of the leaders of the rising of the Comuneros. To the left is the massive Torreón de los Lozoya (16th century).
