Santa María la Real de Nieva

Santa Maria la Real de Nieva is a historic Segovian village that offers the pilgrim a stop of great monumental interest. Its main treasure is the Monastery of Our Lady of Subterranean, founded in the 15th century. The jewel of the ensemble is its magnificent cloister, a masterpiece of Gothic-Mudéjar style with capitals that tell biblical and everyday life scenes. The monastery church houses the revered image of the Virgin. For the walker who follows the variations of the Camino by Segovia, this locality is a haven of peace and a place for artistic contemplation. Its Plaza Mayor and its quiet streets complete a visit that enriches the pilgrimage with a dose of sacred Castilian art and history.
