After the 16th century, a cone-shaped castle spire and roof section were added, and stone from the river was used as a building material to strengthen the castle's defensive function. Queen Isabel's father also extensively renovated the interior of the castle, and although there was a fire in Kasbapu in the early 19th century, it was restored after 1940. In addition to the Islamic-style throne hall and the chapel with beautiful altars, the current Segovia Castle has been converted into a large armoury museum to display a large collection of military equipment.

In the 15th century, Queen Isabel repaired the Aqueduct Bridge and placed the Statue of our Lady in the center of the bridge. Today, the entire waterway bridge is still well preserved, with 166 arches and 120 columns, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.
