Itinerary

1. Las Murallas de Avila
We will begin our visit admiring, from the San Vicente Gardens, the impressive towers and canvases of our walls. Undoubtedly, the most representative monument that has given shape and life to the city of Ávila.
Duration: 20 mins
2. Basilica de San Vicente
The Pearl of the Avila Romanesque (National Monument). Towards the beginning of the s. Construction began in the 12th century on what ended up being the most important temple in the medieval city of Ávila. This basilica is located in one of the places where more archaeological remains have been found in the city, which denotes the importance of the area for the various peoples and cultures that populated Ávila. Surprise yourself with its light and beauty when you enter its interior, something that you cannot even imagine contemplating its robust exterior construction. From its crypt to its cenotaph, discover with us all the secrets hidden in its walls!
Duration: 20 mins
3. Catedral de Avila
Considered the first Gothic cathedral built in Spain. Its tall and solitary tower stands out, which reveals the double function of this great temple. One as a house of God, the second as an important part of the defense of the city. Its famous cimorro is integrated into the wall as one more tower of it.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Palacio de Polentinos
Undoubtedly the best and most beautiful example to get to know Avila's palace buildings from the 16th century. Building closely linked to military life. It was the former quartermaster academy of the army and currently houses the General Military Archive of Ávila, as well as a very interesting museum of the Army.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Church & birthplace of Saint Teresa of Jesus - Avila, Spain
The Church of Santa Teresa is part of the convent of the Carmelite monks that is located in the same square. They were the ones who decided in the 17th century to build this convent in the same place where the old family home of the Cepeda and Ahumada parents of La Santa stood. We will get to know the figure of the most relevant and international woman in our city. An extraordinary character who influenced and transformed not only Ávila and Spain at the time, but who crossed borders becoming one of the references of the Catholic Church.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Plaza Corral de las Campanas
On our tour we will pass through the most beautiful squares of the city and we will be able to admire the most important palaces that gave life to medieval Ávila.
Duration: 20 mins
