#Segovia is a city full of ancient history, which origin dates back to Celtiberian tribes, who built it in a craggy rock made of limestone. The height of the cliff is over 1000 meters above sea level. The silhouette drawn on the Castilian clean sky has been compared, from the 16th century, to a ship made of stone, waiting for the two rivers that flow on its feet (Eresma and Clamores) to flood the valley, so it can sail to the vast sea of the plateau.
Die geschichtsträchtige Stadt Segovia, deren Ursprung auf die Keltiberer zurückgeht, wurde auf einem zerklüfteten Kalksteinfelsen auf über 1000 m über Meereshöhe errichtet. Seit dem 16. Jh. wurde die Silhouette der Stadt, die sich am tiefblauen Himmel Kastiliens abzeichnet, oftmals mit einem versteinerten Schiff verglichen, das scheinbar darauf wartet, dass die Flüsse Eresma und Clamores, die am Fuße des Felsens zusammenfließen, das Tal überfluten, um loszusegeln.
La ville de Ségovie témoigne d’un riche passé historique. Son origine remonte à l’époque celtique. Par ailleurs, la ville est construite sur une roche calcaire à plus de 1000 mètres d’altitude. Sa silhouette, qui se détache du ciel azuré de Castille, est depuis le XVIème siècle, comparée à un vaisseau en pierre. Ce dernier semble attendre que les deux rivières, Eresma et Clamores, confluant à sa base, se jettent dans la vallée pour finir leur course vers la vaste plaine qui l’entoure.
塞哥维亚是西班牙旧卡斯蒂利亚地区的一个重要历史名城，人口约16万(2013年1月1日为基准)。城市的创建源于军事，它是控制丢勒大峡谷的战略要地。该城建于公元80年的罗马时期，故称“古罗马塞哥维亚城”，是西班牙无数古城中保存最好的一座。
セゴビアは標高1000mを超える石炭質の岩盤の上に建設されたceltiberos(ケルト民族とイベリア元民族)時代からの古い歴史を持つ都市である。カスティーリャの青空を背にそびえるそのシルエットは、エレスマ川とクラモレス川の合流する地点に停泊する巨大な船に例えられる。
陽光西班牙（塞戈維亞—大渡橋—阿爾卡薩爾城堡）古城巡禮
塞戈維亞（西班牙語：Segovia，西班牙語發音：[seˈɣoβja]；/sɪˈɡoʊviə/）位於西班牙首都馬德里以北，名稱來自於凱爾特伊比利語，有「勝利之城」的涵義，是西班牙卡斯提亞雷昂自治區塞戈維亞省的省會。
老城區雄踞在一個狹長的山岩上，有大量名勝古蹟，包括古羅馬水道橋、主教座堂、塞戈維亞城堡，和眾多的羅曼式風格的教堂，如聖埃斯特班教堂、聖馬丁教堂、聖米蘭教堂。
1985年「塞戈維亞舊城」及「大渡槽」被列為世界文化遺產。由羅馬人修建的高架大渡槽現已成為城市的象徵，而城內的阿爾卡薩爾城堡是個建築群中的瑰寶。
整個城區都被城牆所圍繞，街道用石塊或磚頭鋪就，彎彎曲曲，狹窄深邃。古色古香的建築群，每一處都是文物。其中大教堂是西班牙最後的哥德式建築。高聳的主塔在眾多小尖塔簇擁下高貴非凡，被譽為「西班牙教堂中的貴婦」。
古羅馬水道橋（Acueducto de Segovia）又稱羅馬大渡槽，是高架水道橋，建於西元一世紀，是伊比利半島上保存最完整的古羅馬遺跡之一，也是塞哥維亞的象徵。
二千年前從15公里以外引進瓜達拉馬山脈的水來，最高2.85公尺，全長728公尺的水道橋，用2萬多噸的花崗石建造，將近有170個拱門。更令人驚訝的是，水道橋的石頭沒有使用粘接材料，完全是花崗石堆疊，展現古羅馬的高超建築技術。由於這個水道橋實在太壯觀，竟然還有流傳不是人類建造，因此被稱為『惡魔橋』。
2000年來甘甜的渠水滋潤著城市，使塞哥維亞得以繁榮。（想見證最壯闊的塞戈維亞地景，可從停車場往老城區入口，通過水道橋後往右手邊的步道，拾級而上，至平臺，即可欣賞最壯麗的古城美景，人類文明之起源與古羅馬人的智慧。）至今，水道依然完好，仍可以使用。
走到塞萬提斯街（Calle Cervantes）進到舊城中心，熱鬧的阿索格霍廣場（Plaza Azoguejo）有許多餐廳、咖啡館、紀念品店與塞哥維亞遊客服務中心（Segovia Tourist Office），可以去拿導覽圖或是向服務人員諮詢旅遊大小事或美食推薦。
穿過塞萬提斯街後，到了主廣場（Plaza Mayor），中間有個漂亮的涼亭，旁邊就是塞哥維亞主教座堂跟市政廳。塞哥維亞主教座堂（Catedral de Segovia）建於16世紀（1525年到1527年），是西班牙晚期建造的哥德式主教座堂。但仍有文藝復興風格的藝術品，當時國王恩里克四世捐贈的聖母瑪利亞的彩色玻璃特別有名。教堂鐘樓高達88公尺，是西班牙最高的鐘樓，可以登上鐘樓欣賞城市風景。
從主廣場延伸的道路，看到聖埃斯特萬教堂（San Esteban Church），是一座外觀漂亮的教堂，建於13世紀的羅馬式教堂，走廊和柱頭都保持原來的樣子。教堂塔樓有六層，高53公尺，是伊比利亞半島上最高的塔樓，被稱為『塔的女王』。
阿爾卡薩爾城堡又稱塞戈維亞城堡（Alcazar de Segovia），坐落在古城西端高出河谷80多米的山崗上，有居高臨下的氣勢。不只是西班牙的代表景點之一，也是世界遺產。據說迪士尼樂園「灰姑娘城堡」 (Cinderella Castle) 的靈感就來自這座城堡和德國的新天鵝堡。『Alcazar』在西班牙文是城堡的意思，城堡建於13世紀，原先是一個阿拉伯堡壘，後來被卡斯蒂亞國王阿方索六世收回，成為卡斯蒂亞王族的宮殿，是皇室的宴會場所。現在城堡內部就像博物館，豪華的國王大廳(Hall of Kings)、加冕廳(Hall of the Throne)等，融合伊斯蘭文化的鮮豔風格，也陳列不少藝術品。
維拉克魯茲教堂（Church of Vera Cruz），從舊城區走一點路，可以從塞哥維亞城堡前方廣場旁的斜坡下去。是一座由13世紀的騎士團建造的教堂，形狀為十二邊形，在西班牙是很特別的建築，它保留中世紀時期的外觀。
逛完古城。可至米其林推薦旅遊塞戈維亞時必吃之『烤乳豬』（西班牙文：Cochinillo、英文 Milk-fed Suckling Pig）名店，品嘗道地西班牙美食經典。

By the author...
Spain is one great open-air museum containing the cultural wealth of the most varied epochs and peoples. On the walls of the Altamari cave is blazoned that much admired steer painted thousands of years ago by men of the Ice Age. In Barcelona stand the fantastic buildings of neo-Castilian present-day art. Celts, Iberians, Romans, Carthaginians, Moors and Goths have fought and struggled for supremacy in Spain. Of all this the stones tell us to-day. They are the chronicles. They relate of bitter strife of the culture and art aspirations belonging to times gone by. Much has vanished into dust and ruin. That which has survived time's fretting tooth serves as a bridge to lead us back to the past.
Fate was kind enough to let me spend five years in Spain. Caught there by the war while engaged in studies, I was cut off from home. l made use of my involuntary stay to become acquainted with the country in its furthermost corners. I roved to and fro from the pinnacles of the Pyrenees to the shores of Tarifa, from the palm forest of Elche to the forgotten Hurdes inhabitants of Estremadura.
On all my lonely wanderings I was accompanied by my faithful camera: we covered over 45000 kilometres together in Spain. We kept our eyes open diligently. I say we, for in addition to mine was a precious glass eye in the shape of the Zeiss lens. Whereas my eyes only made me the intellectual recipient of what we saw, that of my travelling companion made it a pictorial permanency. I took over 2000 photographs during our peregrinations. This volume only presents a small selection. It was not easy to make the final choice. Many a picture had to be omitted to which I was attached, either for its peculiarity or its character.
There are captions for all the photographs in five languages; English, Spanish, Italian, German, French.

Esteban Vicente Perez (January 20, 1903 – January 10, 2001), was an American painter born in Turégano, Spain. He was one of the first generation of New York School abstract expressionists
Esteban Vicente was born in Turegano, Spain on January 20, 1903. His mother, Sofia Perez y Alvarez came from an Asturian family and was born in Valladolid. His father, Toribio Vicente Ruiz, came from a military family near Salamanca and was an army officer. Esteban Vicente had two sisters and three brothers. He was the third child and second son. Vicente's father resigned his commission and moved his family to the capital, Madrid, where he worked as a buildings administrator for the Banco de España so that the children could be educated at good Jesuit schools. Vicente was taken to the Museo del Prado by his father, an art enthusiast, almost every Sunday from the time he was four years old and began to draw when he was sixteen. He was expected to follow family tradition and join the army. After three months in military school he decided to become an artist.
Vicente enrolled at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes in Madrid in 1921 intending to study sculpture. He completed his training in 1924. Commenting on his experience at the Academy he said "It doesn't give you any ideas about anything. It gives you tools, and teaches you about materials. Academic training is safe. It prepares you to be against.".
He had his first one-man exhibition in Madrid in 1928, after which he left for Paris and did not return to Spain until 1930. In 1935 he married Estelle Charney, an American whom he had met in Paris.[2] After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 Vicente, supporting the Loyalist forces, painted camouflage in the mountains outside Madrid for a few months. Later that year he and his wife moved to New York City. The (Loyalist) Spanish Ambassador to the U.S. set him up as a Vice Consul in Philadelphia, a position which supported his family for three years. Vicente had ample time to continue with his art and had his first one-man show in New York at the Kleeman Gallery in 1937. After the fall of the Spanish Republic in 1939 he returned to New York City. During World War II he supported himself with portrait commissions and by teaching Spanish. A 1945 exhibition in Puerto Rico led in 1946 to a position at the University of Puerto Rico teaching painting. After his return to New York in 1947 he established relationships with most of the members of the nascent New York School, participating in their seminal exhibitions at the Kootz Gallery in 1950, in the 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951 and in exhibitions at the Sidney Janis Gallery and Charles Egan Gallery. Subsequently he was represented by the Leo Castelli, André Emmerich and Berry-Hill Galleries in New York City. He was a founding member of the New York Studio School, where he taught for 36 years. Although he never exhibited in Spain during the rule of Francisco Franco, in 1998 the Spanish government opened the Esteban Vicente Museum of Contemporary Art in Segovia.
Vicente maintained a house and studio in Bridgehampton, New York from 1964. His marriage to Estelle Charney ended in divorce in 1943. Their daughter Mercedes, died at aged six.[2] A second marriage, to Maria Teresa Babin, also ended in divorce.[2] Vicente died in Bridgehampton on January 10, 2001. He was survived by his third wife, Harriet Peters, whom he married in 1961.
He has been honored as a renowned artist and child advocate by a New York City Bronx School Public School 170, a Kindergarten to Second Grade school has been named the Esteban Vicente school. A family member has incorporated Art programs into the schools. Students' talents emerge as they are exposed to the culture. At PS 170 students learn about Esteban Vicente and his style, color and design. Examples of his work adorn the walls of the school.
Vicente has a museum devoted to him in Segovia, Spain, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente, and a street named after him in Turegano.
In March 2011 the Grey Art Gallery at New York University exhibited Concrete Improvisations: Collages and Sculpture by Esteban Vicente. In addition to 60 paper collages, the exhibit included 20 of Vicente's small-scale assemblages called divertimentos (toys), composed from pieces of found wood and covered with white plaster, with others composed of plastic and wood with architectonic elements.
Segovia, su alcázar, la catedral y el acueducto: En el corazón de Castilla y León
Retratos de ciudades españolas, 17
(Description in English below / Beschreibung auf Deutsch weiter unten)
Segovia cuyo nombre proviene de su nombre celtibérico, Segobriga, tiene una historia de colonización muy larga. Ya los neandertales tenían un poblamiento muy cerca del alcázar actual. Los celtíberos construyeron un castro muy importante, y para el ejército romano era una base muy importante. De aquella época data el acueducto que se considera como la obra de ingeniería civil romana más importante de toda España y que sin duda es espectacular. Otro monumento muy importante es el alcázar, la fortaleza hispano-árabe en un cerro sobre la confluencia de los ríos Eresma y Clamores. En el casco antiguo, dentro de las murallas medievales, hay varias iglesias románicas que en su mayoría tienen una galería porticada con capiteles muy bonitos, por ejemplo la iglesia de San Martín o la de San Esteban. Además está la catedral de Santa María, la última catedral gótica que se construyó en España. Además está, fuera de las murallas y un poco apartada de la ciudad, la iglesia de la Vera Cruz con planta dodecagonal, una verdadera joya románica, atribuida a los caballeros templarios o a los del Santo Sepulcro.
Segovia, its castle, cathedral and aqueduct: In the Heart of Castile and Leon
Portraits of Spanish towns and cities, 17
Segovia, whose name comes from its Celtiberian name, Segobriga, has a long history of colonization. Neanderthals already had a settlement near the present castle. The Celts built a fort, and the Roman army had a major base here. From this period dates the aqueduct that is considered the most important work of Roman civil engineering in Spain. Another important monument is the Alcazar, the Spanish-Moorish fortress on a hill overlooking the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamores. In the old town, within the medieval walls, there are several Romanesque churches most of which have a colonnade with artistically sculptured capitals, e.g. the Churches of St. Martin or St. Stephen. Then there is the Cathedral of Holy Mary, the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain. There is also, outside the walls and a little away from the city, the Church of Vera Cruz with a dodecagonal plant, a real Romanesque jewel, attributed to the Knights Templar or the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. A beautiful place. No wonder that Ernest Hemingway enjoyed to stay here! :-)
Segovia, sein Alcázar, seine Kathedrale und das Aquädukt: Im Herzen von Kastilien und León
Porträts spanischer Städte, 17
Segovia, dessen Name von seinem keltiberischen Namen Segobriga herrührt, hat eine lange Besiedlungsgeschichte. Neandertaler unterhielten in der Nähe der heutigen Burg bereits eine Siedlung. Die Keltiberer bauten ein Castro, und auch das römische Heer hatte einen großen Stützpunkt hier. Aus dieser Zeit stammt der Aquädukt, der als wichtigstes Werk des zivilen römischen Bauingenieurwesens in Spanien gilt. Ein weiteres wichtiges Monument ist der Alcázar, die spanisch-maurische Festung auf einem Hügel oberhalb des Zusammenflusses der Flüsse Eresma und Clamores. In der Altstadt innerhalb der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauern gibt es mehrere romanische Kirchen, von denen die meisten einen Säulengang mit kunstvoll geformten Kapitellen aufweisen, etwa die Kirchen St. Martin und St. Stephan. Dann gibt es die Kathedrale der Heiligen Maria, die letzte in Spanien errichtete gotische Kathedrale. Es gibt auch, außerhalb der Stadtmauern und ein wenig entfernt von der Stadt, die Kirche von Vera Cruz mit ihrem zwölfeckigen Grundriss, ein echtes romanisches Juwel, den Tempelrittern oder den Rittern des Heiligen Grabes zugeschrieben.

Following the Reconquest of Toledo in 1085 by Alfonso VI, a policy of repopulation was undertaken to shore up the Kingdom of Castile, which was still vulnerable. The rise of Segovia, Ávila, and Salamanca during the Middle Ages stemmed from this strategic plan. Ávila alone has kept its surrounding walls, which in part date back to 1090, while the greater part appear to have been rebuilt during the 12th century. The intra-muros town and the walls that surround it, as well as the other component parts, show the magnificence of the medieval city, reflected in the Romanesque style of the churches, and expressing the Golden Age of Ávila in the architecture of convents and monasteries.
Santa Teresa de Jesús, also called Saint Teresa of Ávila, original name Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, was born on March 28, 1515, in Ávila and died on October 4, 1582, in Alba de Tormes. Santa Teresa de Jesús was canonized in 1622, being one of the great mystics and religious women of the Roman Catholic Church, and author of spiritual classics. She was the originator of the Carmelite Reform and elevated to doctor of the church in 1970 by Pope Paul VI, the first woman to be so honoured.

Romanesque Art - 6 Spain
Sixth video about the Romanesque Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
Spain is very important in romanesque. Influence of visigothic, merovingian and mozarabic constructions.
XI century.
Aragón. The taqueado jaqués is a kind of checkered decoration. The cathedral of Jaca stands out by its front, same as the Church of Santa Cruz de Serós. Church of the Castle of Loarre. San Juan de la Peña stands out by its sculptures, same as San Pedro de Siresa and the Cloister of San Pedro el Viejo. Sepulchre of Doña Sancha.
León. Church of San Isidoro de León, with nice paintings from the Escuela Castellano-Leonesa, painting with more expressiveness and naturalism, influenced by mozarabic miniatures. More narrative trend. Two covers, Puerta del Cordero y Puerta del Perdón. Santiago de Compostela is very important for pilgrimage. It has the Portada de las Platerías, from romanesque, and Pórtico de la Gloria, from gothic. San Martín de Frómista. About sculpture, are the Crucifix of Fernando I and Doña Sancha, of ivory, and the Cristo de Carrizo, that lost its cross.
Cataluña. Stand out San Genis les Fonts and San Andrés Sureda by their lintels and Arlés-sur-Tech by the decoration and the Sacred Sarcophagus.
XII century. Here I will talk of Castile and its schools. Also the Cloister of Silos and Cataluña.
Escuela de Segovia. Characterized by a portico with round arches over columns, that round the temple in three of its sides. Eastern influence, as the use of caliphal ribbed vault. Churches of San Millán, with the casket, Veracruz, San Esteban, and San Martín.
Escuela de Ávila. Group derived from San Isidoro de León. Here are included the church of San Andrés, the cathedral of Zamora, the Catedral Vieja de Salamanca, the basilicas of San Vicente de Ávila and San Pedro de Ávila and the Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor (Toro).
Escuela de Galicia. Follows the characteristics of Santiago de Compostela. Cathedral of Tuy.
Escuela de Soria. Oriental characters, like in the Cloister of San Juan de Duero, with ribbed arches of horseshoe interlaced, and in San Juan de Rabanera.
In Burgos is the Cloister of Santo Domingo de Silos, standing out by its sculptoric decoration, of educational type in capitals.
Cataluña. In XII century persist some churches with the forms of the first romanesque, and others with influences of the french or italian romanesque. Here is the Seo de Urgel. San Clemente de Tahull is very important by its apse. It’s by the Escuela Catalana of painting, following the byzantine distribution of the paintings. So, in the apse, is the Pantokrator, with the tetramorfos. Ego sum lux mundi. Others here are Sant Pere de Roda, Sant Pedro de Galligans, San Vicente de Cardona, Santa María de Ripoll, with nice front, and Gerona, with nice cloister. Virgin of Gerona. Typical Theotokos, throne of the Child. The Majestat Battló. Christ in triumphant attitude over death.
Sculpture. Monumental decoration, as painting.
XI century. Cataluña, first tries of romanesque sculpture, standing out the lintels and decoration in the three churches I said. In Aragón are the cover of the cathedral of Jaca, and the “capiteles jaqueses”, taqueado jaqués. Sepulchre of Doña Sancha. Plateau (Meseta), byzantine and german influences. I already said the sculpture here above.
XII century. The themes and style of the XI century is expanded. French influence. In Cataluña are the cover of St María de Ripoll and the Cloister of Gerona, more naturalist. In Aragón is lost the elegance of athletic figures and the capiteles jaqueses. Rude figures with great expressiveness, as in San Juan de la Peña. Navarra, various influences, are the cover of Sangüesa and the tympanum of San Miguel de Estella. Plateau (Meseta), influences from the north of Spain, as in the frieze of Carrión de los Condes and the reliefs of the Cloister of Silos.
