Segovia - San Martín

The Plazuela San Martín takes its name from the 12th century Romanesque church of San Martín. This has pillared Romanesque galleries on the north, south and west sides which have richly carved capitals with floral motifs and Biblical scenes. The Gothic Capilla de Herrera contains tombs of the Herrera family, and the Capilla Mayor has a fine recumbent figure of Christ by Gregorio Fernández. There is a valuable church treasury. Adjoining the church is the old Prison.
