This 15th-century aristocratic mansion is worth a detour to admire its striking facade resembling a coat of armor, with a relief of pyramid-shaped granite blocks. 

Notice the coats of arms above the balconies, reflecting the stature of the De la Hoz family who owned the house. Charming decorative tiles featuring pictures of Segovia buildings are found at the entrance and in the courtyard. 

The Casa de los Picos now houses the Segovia Art School and an exhibition hall that presents temporary exhibitions throughout the year. To arrive here, take the Calle Cervantes or the flight of steps beside the aqueduct and turn left at the top.
