Casa de los Picos

Casa de los Picos, a 16th-century building in Segovia, Spain, stands as one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks. Its façade is adorned with over 600 pyramid-shaped reliefs, giving the former noble house its name, as ‘Pico’ translates to a sharp point in Spanish. The purpose behind these striking features—whether for defense or mere decoration—remains a mystery. Today, the building serves as the home of the Segovia School of Art, inviting visitors to admire its unique architectural details and explore the creative atmosphere within.
