Walls of Ávila

Highlight • Monument

Aside from archaeological evidence pointing to a primitive fence from the Late Antiquity (5th century) period, which would have enclosed a small space, the wall is essentially medieval. With a perimeter of 2,516 m (encompassing an area of 33 hectares), 87 towers or towers, 9 gates and 2 gatehouses, and 2,500 merlons, Ávila's wall is the best-preserved walled enclosure in the world.

Ávila City Walls (North Section)

Highlight • Monument

Controversy is the dating of its construction. There are authors who, faithful to tradition, frame it in the last years of the 11th century; Others think that it is a work fundamentally from the second half of the 12th century - beginning of the 13th century, as are neighboring fortifications.

Sancti Spiritu Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Sancti Spiritus Bridge in Ávila is a historic structure that crosses the Chico River, very close to the Chico River Park.
It is a medieval-style stone bridge, probably linked to the ancient Monastery of Sancti Spiritus, founded in the 13th century.
