The Alcazar of Segovia (literally, Segovia Castle)
is a stone fortification, located in the old city of Segovia, Spain. Rising out
on a rocky crag 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 as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal
Artillery College and a military academy since then. Source
