Paris

I loved the trip, despite feeling very tired.

I really enjoyed visiting the palace of Versailles, built by King Louis XIV. A very luxurious palace, huge, majestic,

where the King gave large parties, banquets, theatrical and musical performances, as we have already learned in the History. The beauty of this palace is really impressive.

In addition to the palace, I enjoyed visiting the Eiffell tower, the possibility that it gives us to look around us from the top and gave a fabulous scenery of the beautiful city of Paris.

I also enjoyed visiting the Futuroscope a lot, where I had a good time.

 Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y cathedral of San Frutos

The Holy Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and San Frutos de Segovia, known as the Lady of the Cathedrals for its size and elegance, is a cathedral built between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, gothic style with some Romanesque. The Segovia Cathedral is one of the last Gothic cathedrals in Spain and Europe, built in the sixteenth century (1525-1577), when most of Europe was spreading Renaissance architecture.

Puerta de Santiago de la Muralla / Francisco Peralta's Puppetry collection 

La Puerta de Santiago, recently restored, houses the collection of puppets that master Francisco Peralta donated to the city of Segovia. The 38 pieces represent characters from popular ballads, plays, musicals, classic literature and children's narratives.

                                                       

Artillería

The Artillery Academy in Segovia is a military academic institution founded in Spain on 16^th May, 1764, as the Royal Artillery School in the Alcazar of Segovia, in the time of King Charles III, under Felix Gazzola, its first director. It is the oldest active military academy in the world.

Alcazar

The Alcazar of Segovia is a fortified palace in stone, located in the old city of Segovia, Spain. Built on a stone peninsula, it rises above the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamores near the Guadarrama mountains. It is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape - like the bow of a ship. The Alcazar was originally built as a fortress but has served since then as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy.
