Iglesia De La Vera Cruz, Segovia, Spain Stock Photography

The church of the True Cross Iglesia de la Vera Cruz is a Roman Catholic church in the San Marcos district of the spanish city of Segovia, Castile and Leon. Formerly known as the Church of Holy Sepulchre, it is located to the north of the city, very close to the convent of San Juan de la Cruz, on the slope that ascends to Zamarramala, a town of which it was, for centuries, a parish church. The construction of this temple has traditionally been attributed to the Knights Templars, but it is now believed that it was the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem that carried out its construction and that it depended, as an encomienda, of the Collegiate church of Santa María la Mayor in Zamora.
