After the Romans had conquered the place in the Astur-Cantabrian Wars (29–19 BC) and the area became the largest mining center of the Empire during the Roman period, where gold and other metals and minerals were extracted. The Romans also imported grapevines. The modern name of the city derives from the iron reinforcements added to the ancient bridge over the river Sil, commissioned in 1082 by Bishop Osmundo of Astorga to facilitate the crossing of the Sil River to pilgrims in their way to Santiago de Compostela. In 1178, Ferdinand II of León donated the city to the Templar order for protecting the pilgrims on the Way of St. James in their road to Santiago de Compostela. The church Santa María de Vizbayo is located in Otero , today part of Ponferrada. The first references dates back to the 11th century. It is a single nave Romanesque with clear Mozarabic influences.

The small pre-Romanesque church of Santa María de Mixós was built on the remains of a 4th century monastery. When it was built in the early 10th century by Mozarabic masters, it had three naves, which were united into one during later restorations. Unfortunately, the church was closed.

A Celtic castle existed here, from which resistance against the Romans originated. The city was nevertheless taken. Afterward, it began to be built as a Roman city and became an important Roman military base. In the second half of the 5th century, Segovia became part of the Visigoth Empire. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, Segovia was under Moorish possession. In 1085 Alfonso VI conquered the city. From the 13th to the 15th century it was a royal residence. San Martin was built in the 12th century. It is located in the center of the town, halfway between the Cathedral and the Roman aqueduct. It is of Mozarabic origin in Romanesque style. Today's church differs partially from the original as some parts were rebuilt or removed, such as the central apse, which was replaced. It consists of three naves, a transept with a brick dome, and a three-part apse. The Romanesque-Mudéjar style bell tower was built with brick arches on stone pillars. The arcaded gallery surrounds the entire church with the exception of the chancel. Four slender apostle sculptures flank the entrance. Here are two of them.
