Historic Churches of Ávila
Ávila’s spiritual landscape is defined by its collection of Romanesque and Gothic religious structures, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The city features the Basílica de San Vicente, a masterpiece of Spanish Romanesque architecture, and the Gothic Real Monasterio de Santo Tomás, once a summer residence for the Catholic Monarchs. Many sites are inextricably linked to Saint Teresa of Ávila, including the Convento de la Encarnación, where she resided for thirty years, and the Convento de San José, her first foundation.
