Territórios - History in Segovia

MAR 2011

Posted by Roberta Martins

I was in Madrid, and took a Saturday to know Segovia in one Day. It was 80 km by train from Atocha. The city has a very old Roman aqueduct and the Alcazar, which inspired Walt Disney to create Cinderella’s castle. Walking inside the Alcazar is a History class about medieval times and the kings of Spain. In the narrow streets with their old buildings and stores, is quite pleasant. When you reach the highest parts of the city, you can see a beautiful view that goes beyond the limits of Segovia.

Inspirations for Cinderella Castle

A variety of real and fictional castles served as inspiration for Cinderella Castle-including Fontainebleau, Versailles and the chateaus of Chenonceau, Chambord and Chaumont. The chief designer of Cinderella Castle, Disney Legend Herb Ryman, also referenced the original design for the castle in the film Cinderella and his own well-known creation-Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park in California.

Aproveita que ainda estás em Madri e vai a Toledo. Chegar naquela cidade é como entrar no túnel do tempo. linda demais.
