Juan Arias Dávila fortifies the church

Historical milestone · Turégano, Comunidad de Ciudad y Tierra de Segovia, Segovia

Image of Turégano, not of the place itself.

The bishop of Segovia Juan Arias Dávila ordered in the 1470s that the Romanesque church of San Miguel be surrounded by a perimeter castle. From that work was born the unusual silhouette that makes Turégano a unique case in Castile.
