The museum focuses on the technology and production systems and working methods necessary to mint coins. It reflects the long tradition of numismatic production in Segovia as well as the survival of a building that has maintained more than five centuries of industrial activity.

The museum can be visited with an audio guide, or with a guided tour, which takes place daily, both for groups by prior reservation and for individual visitors.

The construction of the Royal Mint required particular orographic conditions. Philip II wanted to create a large modern complex capable of symbolising his absolute power and the wealth of the empire. A privileged enclave was chosen for this purpose on the banks of the Eresma River, between the suburbs of San Lorenzo and San Marcos. In this beautiful spot, which had been occupied since Celtiberian and Roman times, religious buildings coexisted with vegetable gardens, workshops and small mills. The new mint absorbed three medieval buildings: the churches of Santiago and San Gil, finally demolished in the 19th century, and a paper and wheat mill whose structure was partially used for the construction of the Ingenio Chico, the machinery used to make gold and silver coins.

After years of lethargy, an ambitious project was undertaken to recover one of Segovia's most emblematic monuments, comparable to the Cathedral, the Alcazar and the Aqueduct. In 2007, the comprehensive restoration of the building began, along with an exhaustive archaeological study and the analysis and reconstruction of the machinery used. After fifty months of passionate dedication on the part of great professionals from various disciplines, the original use of the Royal Mill has been restored, reflecting its evolution throughout history with the ultimate aim of conveying to the public the importance of one of the oldest examples of industrial architecture in Europe.

The museum hosts temporary exhibitions on a variety of subjects, generally linked to the mills and the manufacture of coins in other parts of the world, but it also includes in its regular activities exhibitions on subjects that are more distant from its day-to-day activities, which allows it to attract a wider public, attracted by the diversity of its content.

In the Royal Mint you can visit the Aqueduct Interpretation Centre.

The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most emblematic monuments in Spain and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. It is the great symbol of the city.

This great work of Roman civil engineering, with a total length from its weir in the Sierra de Guadarrama to the Alcázar of 16,186 m., has brought water to Segovia for almost 2,000 years and is still the best preserved Roman aqueduct in the world.

The relationship between the Aqueduct and the Royal Mint goes back centuries. Coins bearing the aqueduct as one of the security marks were minted at the Royal Mint - first at the mint of Henry IV and later at the Royal Mint, built by Philip II in 1583 - so it can be said that this monument went around the world and became the emblem of Segovia.

It is because of this centenary relationship that the Royal Mint complex houses this Aqueduct Interpretation Centre (CIA), a modern interactive and multimedia space.

The Aqueduct Interpretation Centre includes three ‘dioramas’, three three-dimensional representations that allow the spectator to immerse themselves in the construction of the aqueduct:

- The aqueduct's weir: the place where the water was collected.
- The quarries: The extraction of the granite for the ashlars.
- Construction of the aqueduct: The construction from pillar 105 to 115 with almost a hundred workers.

This centre also houses the original sculpture of the Virgin of the Aqueduct, which occupied one of the niches of the monument from 1520 to 2015. This work, which is 1.86 metres high and weighs around 800 kilos, was donated by Antonio de la Jardina, an assayer of the old mint located in the corralillo de San Sebastián. The second niche of the aqueduct was occupied by a sculpture of Saint Sebastian, patron saint of coin minters in Segovia.

The Aqueduct Interpretation Centre allows visitors to view the sculptures of the Virgin of the Aqueduct and Saint Sebastian in detail, using QR codes and augmented reality.

In addition, the exhibition includes an audiovisual set in the year 1520, when the Virgin was placed in the niche of the Aqueduct. This content is also available online at azoguejo1520.com.

The Royal Mint is part of the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH), which allows for greater dissemination of this important heritage element beyond our borders.

The museum has information leaflets on the permanent exhibition, and visitors are also offered a complete guide prepared by experts in industrial heritage and the Segovia Mint, which provides an in-depth analysis of its history, its activity as a mint in the past and its present, a museum which has become one of the city's main attractions.

In addition, brochures and catalogues are produced for each of the temporary exhibitions, available at the reception desk and the museum shop respectively.

Since its opening, the Royal Mint has hosted a variety of activities aimed at a wide range of audiences: conferences, concerts and festivals, activities for families with children and even sporting activities.

The museum has a shop next to the visitor reception area where you can find a wide variety of products, with coin reproductions and specialised books being the most popular items.

Other museum items also include jewellery, souvenirs and products aimed at children. In short, a wide range of products related to the museum, its surroundings and the city of Segovia.
