In Segovia, the Iglesia de San Juan de los Caballeros became more than just a temple. It was where artist Daniel Zuloaga turned the building into his artistic studio.

The Iglesia de San Juan de los Caballeros, a románico building, stands in Segovia's Plaza de Colmenares. It served as the artistic studio of Daniel Zuloaga, who used the building as his workshop.

The building was declared a monument of historic-artistic value through a decree published in the Gaceta de Madrid. The declaration was made under the rúbrica of the president of the Government Niceto Alcalá-Zamora and the minister of Education Public and Fine Arts Marcelino Domingo y Sanjuán.

In the actualidad, the building holds the status of a property of cultural interest. It serves as the sede del Museo Zuloaga.
