Sigüenza is synonymous with history.
Besides the Parador, the cathedral is the most iconic place in the city. The Casa del Doncel, the churches of San Vicente and Santiago, the city’s entrance gates and the Plaza Mayor are also must-sees.
Sigüenza is 80 kilometres from Guadalajara and 130 kilometres from Madrid. If you are travelling from the capital, you can take the opportunity to take the Medieval train and transport yourself to the era of troubadours, knights and princesses, before enjoying a guided tour of the city.
Next to the cathedral is the Plaza Mayor, which has two porticoed sides and stately houses with arches and coats of arms.
You can also admire the remains of the wall and two of Sigüenza’s entrance gates: the Puerta del Sol and the Arco del Portal Mayor.
If you are interested in sacred art, you must visit the Diocesan Museum of Ancient Art.
If you want to explore the area around Sigüenza, a few kilometres away is the Barranco del Río Dulce Natural Park.
There are routes to explore the forests and the river canyon on foot or by bike.
In the province of Guadalajara, you can also visit the Tejera Negra beech forest, the Black Architecture villages and the Brihuega lavender fields.
