Iglesia de la Santísima Trinidad in Segovia

The Iglesia de la Santísima Trinidad in Segovia is a single-nave temple covered with a barrel vault and a curved apse preceded by a straight section. To the south, it opens onto an atrium, as is common in Segovian Romanesque architecture. To the north, there is a Gothic chapel and two Baroque sacristies.

On the exterior, the apse appears semi-hidden in a narrow alley, divided by two half-columns into three sections. These sections feature windows with hooked columns and decorated capitals. Three horizontal lines of impost run across the structure, one at the height of the water spout, another as an extension of the cymatium of the capitals, and another above the arch. A projecting cornice sits above canes representing fantastic or royal figures.

Inside, the temple surprises with two levels of superimposed arches featuring historiated, vegetal, and fantastic beast capitals of great sculptural and iconographic value, with some remains of old polychromy. To the south, there is a porticoed gallery with semi-circular arches over double columns supporting very sober capitals with flat vegetal decoration.

The temple has two portadas: the western one is of simple construction with recessed archivolts resting on beautiful capitals with beasts and flora, and the lateral portada with access from the atrium features beautiful capital decoration. The interior has a single nave covered with a barrel vault over three arch cells supported by half-columns adjoined to the lateral walls. Following the nave is the tower, which interiorly forms a sort of rectangular cimborrio covered with a rib vault.
