The visit to the medieval city wall from the 11th-14th century is highly recommended with its 88 towers and 9 city gates - the entrance fee is justified, a large part of the city wall is accessible. Unfortunately, there were too few audio guides - we didn't have any. You have grandiose views of the Congress Hall, the Carmelite Convent of San José (place of activity of St. Teresa in the 16th century), the Cathedral, the Romanesque Church of San Vicente and into the nearby mountains.

The Basilica of San Vicente in Ávila is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Spain. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, this basilica is dedicated to the martyrs Vicente, Sabina, and Cristeta. According to tradition, these brothers were martyred in 306 during the Diocletian persecution. The basilica is also known for its cenotaph, a funerary monument depicting the legend of the martyrs and the repentance of the Jew responsible for their deaths.

This bridge was built to facilitate crossing the Adaja River and connect the Roman city of Ávila with the opposite bank. Although only the hidden abutments on the edges of the original Roman bridge remain, the bridge visible today dates back to the 12th century.

It is a spectacular building whichever way you look at it, both inside and out. It's a shame that you can only access the interior by paying an entrance fee, although we were able to enter thanks to the coincidence with mass hours.
