A defensive building in Segovia's old walls

The Casa de las Cadenas is a building in the city of Segovia. It has the status of a bien de interés cultural.

It is a building of a defensive character with origins as old as the walls to which it is attached. The building formed part of one of the supports of the disappeared gate of San Juan, which served as an entrance to the city, as a defensive bastion that protected the northeast flank of the city. It is located at number 6 in the Plaza del Conde de Cheste.

The Directorate General of Fine Arts, Archives and Libraries agreed by Resolution on October 26, 1982, to initiate a procedure to declare the building as a historical-artistic monument. The file was later resumed and the process concluded on June 23, 2022, with the publication of the agreement as a cultural asset of interest with the category of monument on June 27, 2022, in the Official Bulletin of Castilla y León.
