Industrial Revolution Relic: Segovia's Coining House Along Eresma River

The Coining House, located on Calle la Moneda in Segovia, is a museum dedicated to the Industrial Revolution and Segovia’s famous aqueduct. Opened in 1583 by Philip II, it was Spain's first factory to use hydraulic rolling and coining technology, a method already in use in several European cities. The building, designed by Juan de Herrera, Spain's most famous architect, stands on the banks of the Eresma River. For years, it produced coins, but was closed in 1869. Subsequently used as a flour mill, it fell into disrepair in the late 20th century. Today, it stands as one of the oldest industrial architecture markers still standing worldwide.
