Ávila's Absolute Essentials

Ávila is defined by its 11th-century medieval walls, a 2.5-kilometer circuit featuring 82 towers and nine gates. This collection highlights the city's religious significance as the birthplace of Saint Teresa, including her namesake convent and the Romanesque Basílica de San Vicente. Key sites range from the Gothic Real Monasterio de Santo Tomás, once a royal summer residence, to the panoramic Los Cuatro Postes viewpoint. The city's architectural heritage is further represented by Renaissance palaces and the Roman bridge spanning the Adaja River.
