Today we went to the Alcazar in Segovia. This castle, palace, fortress etc. was first build in the 12th century and was conquered and exchanged between the Christian Reyes (kings) and the Moros (Muslims.) The Reyes Catolicos, the Catholic Kings, Isabel and Fernando were married and lived there as well. Isabel and Fernando are most famous for starting the Spanish Inquistion and expelling the moros y judios from Spain.
Also, fun fact, Walt Disney lived in Segovia for a couple years and designed Cinderella's castle at Disneyworld after el Alcazar.
