The Walls A visit to Avila must begin with a visit to THE WALLS, the best example of Romanesque military architecture in Spain. Going along the walled enclosure one sees the nine gates that open out into it: the Alcazar, the Peso de la Harina, San Vicente are the most important. Our visit will be complete once we climb the bailey, which we can do from Casa de las Carnicerías, Alcázar, or Arco del Carmen, from which we can contemplate the urban landscape formed by towers and belfries offered to us by the Avila mountain range and the Valle Amblés The Cathedral The Avila CATHEDRAL is the clearest example of a fortified cathedral in Europe, it have a defensive character, its presbytery is inside the fort, becoming the strongest round tower of the wall. The Avila cathedral is a living lesson of medieval architecture and possibly, the first gothic seen in Castilla. Our visit must be leisurely, to ensure that we are able to appreciate its naves, chapels, cloister and museum. Basílica de San Vicente The BASÍLICA DE SAN VICENTE was built on the site where history shows Vincent, Sabina and Christeta were martyred. This basilica is a great example of the Avila Romanesque style. Iit was the first church to be built, it is the style template of the city. Convent of Santa Teresa On one side, the peculiar orientation marked by the desire to line the presbytery area with the bedrooms where the Santa had been born and, on the other, the whole church being built over a unique vaulted crypt for Spain, and where a museum dedicated to the life and work of Teresa de Jesús has been set up, must be pointed out. |
