Original copper engraving with the Alcazar of Segovia seen from the rear, raised on the rock between the Eresma and the Clamores, with the keep and the approach ramps; at the right, in the distance, the cathedral. The caption reads "Vue du Château de Segovie par derrière" ("View of the Castle of Segovia from behind").
This view predates the fire of 1862, which destroyed the Alcázar's roofs and required them to be rebuilt, so it shows the building before its restoration.
From Les délices de l'Espagne et du Portugal, published in Leiden by Pieter van der Aa, the most fully illustrated work on Spain to appear at the beginning of the 18th century.
