Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y de San Frutos was built in Gothic style between 1525 and 1577, when that style had gone out of fashion elsewhere. Its predecessor had stood on the Alcazar but was wrecked in a siege, with the font, choir and cloister recycled here. The spire got blasted in a thunderstorm and was replaced in 1614. Buried here are St Fructus (d 715), and his brothers St Valentín and St Engracia, hermits all.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and of Saint Fructus is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the Spanish city of Segovia. The church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and to Saint Fructus and is the seat of the Diocese of Segovia. It was built in the Flamboyant style, and was dedicated in 1768, constituting one of the latest Gothic cathedrals in Europe.

Dramatically sited at the west edge of the crag of Old Town, this was built around the 11th century, with the current facade added by Phillip II. The interior is decorated in a hotchpotch of Romanesque, Gothic, Mudejar, and Renaissance. It's variously hosted the royal court of the Trastamara Dynasty, Isabella the Catholic, the wedding of Phillip II, and the Spanish Artillery Academy. The ticket includes the Palace, Artillery Museum and Tower of Juan II. The resemblance of its witches-hat towers to Disney Castle is no accident, and scenes from Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight were filmed here.
