36. Saint Domingo de Guzman´s Convent (Convento de Santo Domingo de Guzmán)

Header image

13th-17th centuries. This is a group of several buildings: Peralta’s Palace-house, and Arias de la Hoz’s house, which included the Hercules Tower. There is, indeed, a sculpture of this mythological hero to whom the foundation of Segovia has always been ascribed. The building has been the convent of the Dominican order of nuns ever since 1513. In the 17th century the church was built, possibly designed by Pedro de Brizuela. The simple front is presided by an image of Saint Domingo (see no. 57). Religious crafts made by the nuns are for sale here.
