Page "Segovia" Paragraph 13

Segovia's position on nomadic trading routes made it an important center of trade in wool and textiles.

The end of the Middle Ages saw something of a golden age for Segovia, with a growing Jewish population and the creation of a foundation for a powerful cloth industry.

Several splendid works of Gothic architecture were also completed during this period.

Notably, Isabella I was proclaimed queen of Castile in the church of San Miguel de Segovia on December 13, 1474.
