  Alcazar of Segovia

  Step inside the Alcázar of Segovia, one of Spain’s most striking castles — and perhaps its most legendary. Perched dramatically on a rocky cliff, this fortress looks like it leapt from the pages of a fairy tale. With its pointed towers and grand halls, it’s said to have inspired Walt Disney himself.
