The Alcázar of Segovia is a world heritage site in beautiful Segovia Spain. This castle is unique and is recognizable by its unique style. It is claimed that Walt Disney Castle was inspired by a variety of  Castles including the Segovia Castle.

Note the similar style of roofs between the Disney Castle and the Alicázar Castle.

The Alcázar Castle was built high above the point of two rivers on cliffs between two rivers.  The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but over the centuries it has also been used as a royal palace, a prison, and a military garrison.

Inside the castle, there were numerous rooms with assorted artifacts. We walked through the different rooms looking at the architecture and displays.

All of the ceilings were ornately decorated and painted.

In the center of the castle, there was a large courtyard with a central fountain.

The castle had some unique features that definitely resembled the Disney castle.

We enjoyed walking through the rooms and exploring the 12-century castle.
