Segovia Stages Sold-Out Reenactment of Isabel I’s Proclamation at Cathedral

Local performers and volunteers turned the anniversary into a citywide cultural draw for residents and visitors.

Overview

  • The royal cortege set off at 17:00 from the Alcázar and reached the cathedral’s Enlosado for two stagings at 18:00 and 20:00.
  • Tickets were sold out after organizers added 100 seats, bringing total capacity to 800 across both passes.
  • More than 200 participants brought the 1474 scene to life, including local theater troupes, falconers, choirs, gregorian singers, historic dancers and acrobats.
  • Segovian nurse Cristina San Juan, 35, was selected to portray Isabel I following an open call for amateur actresses.
  • The program, supported by City Hall and the Patronato of the Alcázar and Cathedral, featured a 70-stall medieval market with spaces reserved for Segovia artisans across the historic center.
