===Parks and gardens=== [[File:Jardin Alcazar Segovia.jpg|thumb|upright|Alcazar Gardens.]] [[File:Plaza de la Artillería, Segovia 01.jpg|thumb|upright|Plaza de la Artillería]] * The '''Alcazar Gardens''' was built in the plaza where the Old Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace existed before and was created on the occasion of the marriage of [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]] to [[Anne of Austria]] in 1570, removing the ruins that still existed. This, however, was not fully realized until the visit of [[Ferdinand VI of Spain|Ferdinand VI]] in the 18th century. Between 1816 and 1817 the first trees were planted, and enclosed with the fence that currently exists. They were destroyed by the fire suffered by the palace in 1862, and recovered again in 1882. * The '''Garden of la Merced''' was the first public garden carried out by the city within the city walls. Named after the former Mercy convent that was located in the same place and came into existence in the middle 19th century with the planting of trees and installation of a fountain, later replaced by the current, broader and statelier plaza. There is also a child's playground available. * '''Paseo del Salón''' is one of the oldest gardens in the city, since it was created in 1786 by the ''Economic Society of Friends of the Country of Segovia'', and two years later they began planting trees. In 1846 he set up various sources and replanted again in different species. * '''Jardinillos of San Roque''', situated along the so-called "Paseo Nuevo" were open to the public in 1872, but ten years before a public fountain was placed in them. In 1943 they were the place where stood a pavilion dedicated to the Feria de Muestras, the building still stands and is one of the characteristic features of the gardens. *Missionaries, The '''Garden of los Cañuelos''' * The '''Gardens of los Huertos''' are named for the orchards occupy a premonstratensian friary. After the removal of the convent in 1836 with the first disentailment laws, the city claimed ownership of the land, a fact that occurred in 1897. In 1901 he began planting trees and structuring of the gardens, which has gradually been restored today. * '''Alameda del Eresma''' * '''Alameda de la Fuencisla''' * '''Fromkes Garden''' * '''Garden of la Plaza del Conde Alpuente''' * '''Garden of la Plaza de Colmenares''' * '''Garden of St. Augustine''' * '''Parque de la Albuera''' * '''Parque de la Dehesa''' * '''Pinarillo de la Cuesta de los Hoyos''' * '''Clamores Valley'''
