            Pedraza, Segovia.
 
Pedraza es una localidad y municipio de la provincia de Segovia (España), situado a 37 km al nordeste de Segovia capital y con una población residente de 467 personas (INE 2011). Se trata de una villa medieval amurallada, cuya cuidada rehabilitación motivó su declaración como Conjunto Histórico en 1951.
 
Su nombre parece derivar de la Pretaria romana, aunque los primeros datos históricos se remontan a Don Fernando Gómez de Albornoz, comendador mayor de Montalbán, que fue nombrado por el rey Enrique II de Castilla Señor de Pedraza. Posteriormente pasó a manos de la familia Herrera y a finales del siglo XV pasó a los condestables de Castilla por el matrimonio entre Doña Blanca Herrera y Don Bernardino Fernández de Velasco. Se mantuvo en estas manos hasta que en el siglo XIX se abolieron los señoríos. Los condestables se asentaron allí, siendo el lugar sitio de paso para grandes personalidades, como artistas, nobles y monarcas. En el siglo XVI y XVII tiene lugar la época de mayor esplendor del pueblo, y es de cuando datan la mayor parte de casas y palacetes. Esta prosperidad fue debida, entre otras cosas, a la exportación hacia el Norte de Europa de la lana de sus rebaños de ovejas merinas y a sus excelentes tejidos, capaces de competir con los mejores que se elaboraban en Flandes.

Pedraza is a town and municipality in the province of Segovia (Spain), located 37 km northeast of Segovia capital and with a resident population of 467 people (INE 2011). It is a medieval walled town, whose careful rehabilitation motivated its declaration as a Historic Site in 1951.
 
The municipality is made up of Pedraza and the towns of Rades de Abajo and La Velilla.
 
Its name seems to derive from the Roman Pretaria, although the first historical data go back to Don Fernando Gómez de Albornoz, commander of Montalbán, who was appointed by King Enrique II of Castile Señor de Pedraza. Later it passed into the hands of the Herrera family and at the end of the 15th century it passed to the constables of Castile due to the marriage between Doña Blanca Herrera and Don Bernardino Fernández de Velasco. It remained in these hands until in the nineteenth century the manors were abolished. The constables settled there, being the place of passage for great personalities, as artists, nobles and monarchs. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the period of greatest splendor of the town took place, and it is from when most of the houses and palaces date. This prosperity was due, among other things, to the export to Northern Europe of the wool of their flocks of Merino sheep and their excellent fabrics, capable of competing with the best that were made in Flanders.
