It was built in 1583 by Juan de Herrera, Spain's most famous architect of all time, and equipped with the most modern German waterwheel-driven minting technology. Today, the site is considered to be the oldest industrial building still standing in Spain and one of the oldest remaining in the world. A variety of gold, silver, and copper coins and medal were produced at the Segovia mill mint from 1586 up until 1868, when it was closed and all minting activities were finally consolidated in Madrid. The Royal Mill Mint of Segovia was one of the first examples of a truly complex, mechanized industrial manufacturing plant in the history of mankind. Today, the Segovia Mint building is considered to be the oldest original example in the world, still standing, of a structure specifically designed as a mechanized industrial manufacturing plant. In this section, we examine the development of minting technology and its relation to the Segovia Mint." There is much, much more. They even have a searchable database of historical documents.
