How to reach Sigüenza

Last update: 18 June 2002

Conference venue

The conference will be held at the Hotel Parador de Sigüenza. Installed in an Arabic citadel, which was constructed on a Roman settlement, this imposing castle was built from the year 1123 onwards, and was the residence of bishops, cardinals and kings. It is in an appropriate location to enjoy this historical town, close to very beautiful natural spaces.
