Segovia
The Romans kept the same way to call Segovia through their belonging to the legal convent of Cluny.
The city of Segovia’s been left after the Muslim invasion.
It seems that the city’s been repopulated under Alphonse VI de Castile with the help of the Frenches like Raymond de Bourgogne and Pierre d’Agen.
This repopulation has been held by a population from the north of Spain and outside of the peninsula. Based on a strategic geographic location, a trade place started to grow up, specialised in wool and textile. It shows that for a long time the lamb does exist and useful in Segovia. The lamb-eating is antique, the recipe of the Cordero de Segovia doesn’t need anymore ingredient because when this dish was created, a lot of vegetables didn’t exist yet, like the potatos for exemple. The economic development was inspired by the ovines which developed the embroidery certified by a seal to counter to the conterfeits.
From a successful economic development, several edifices were built in a Gothic style, which is in Segovia the main kind of construction.
