⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Casa de los Picos – Segovia One of the most unique buildings I’ve seen in Spain — and one that immediately caught my eye as an architect and developer. The Casa de los Picos, built in the 15th century, is famous for its striking granite façade, where each stone block is carved into a pyramid-shaped point (“picos”). It was originally the palace of the De la Hoz family, one of Segovia’s most important noble families. Legend has it that the spiked façade was designed not just for beauty but also as a symbol of strength and prestige — a way to stand out among the city’s wealthy households. Over time, the building became a landmark of Segovia and is now carefully preserved as part of the city’s architectural heritage. Today it houses the Segovia School of Arts and often features exhibitions, ensuring it remains alive and part of the community. What I love most is the creativity of the façade — taking a simple material like granite and turning it into something bold, textured, and unforgettable. It’s inspiring to see how historical architects played with light, depth, and geometry centuries ago, and it gives me new ideas for my own projects. Definitely worth a stop when exploring Segovia — not just for the history, but for the inspiration it leaves behind.
