Get to know the past and present of a typical Castilian town with a stay in Sigüenza. Its architecture and artistic wealth will not disappoint you.

Many say that visiting Sigüenza, in the province of Guadalajara, is like visiting many places at once. This is due to the fact that its streets and alleys contain so many monuments and medieval, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical buildings. Travel through several centuries of history with our Cheap getaways to Sigüenza.

Put on your suit of armour and helmet and visit Sigüenza Castle, a majestic 12th century fortress that was built on the site of an even older Muslim castle. During the 19th and 20th centuries it suffered serious damage with the French invasion, the Carlist wars, and, later, the Spanish Civil War. In 1972, it was rebuilt using the original plans and materials and is currently a Parador, a luxury hotel that can be freely visited, both inside and out.

The Plaza Mayor, at the heart of the town, is the very essence of Renaissance Sigüenza. Considered one of the most beautiful main squares in Castile, it was planned in the 15th century with a view to having a space for entertainment and a weekly market. Walk through its arcaded gallery, making sure that you don't miss the noblemen's houses that surround it.

In the same square, just in front of the town hall, is Santa María de Sigüenza Cathedral, visible from practically any part of the city. Built on a Latin cross floor plan, it is famous for its statue of the Doncel, a 15th century Castilian military man. In its cloister and its chapels you will also find beautiful tapestries and even a painting by El Greco. Our Sigüenza holiday packages leave nothing out.

The nearest airport to Sigüenza is Madrid-Barajas Airport, about 80 miles away. From Madrid's Chamartín station you can take a regional train that will drop you off at your destination in a couple of hours. If you have your own car, take the A2. Whichever option you choose, our Sigüenza travel deals will surely exceed your expectations.
