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.

According to tradition, these brothers were martyred in 306 during the Diocletian persecution.

The Alcázar Gate is one of the most impressive entrances to the Ávila wall. Located to the east of the walled area, it is distinguished by its two large towers, each over 20 meters high, connected by a semicircular arch. This gate was one of the first to be built, along with the San Vicente Gate, and retains its Romanesque style.
