Habsburg and Bourbon Spain

Segorbe

Today: Spain

Years: 1492–1833
Role: Ducal city and episcopal seat

Segorbe became a ducal city in 1459, and its dukedom passed to the dukes of Medinaceli in the 17th century. Its bishopric was finally separated from that of Albarracín in 1577. The Enlightenment brought great cultural and economic growth, and from 1791 the cathedral was rebuilt in Neoclassical style on the walls of the Gothic church, keeping its Gothic cloister and cathedral museum.
