The Alcázar of Segovia occupies a rocky promontory at the confluence of the Eresma and Clamores rivers, its pointed slate towers providing a skyline that inspired the design of Cinderella's castle at Disneyland. The fortress served as a royal residence, state prison, and artillery college across different centuries. The view from the Torre de Juan II across the Castilian meseta is particularly striking in morning light.
