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.

Church of San Pedro Apóstol (Ávila)

Highlight • Religious Site

Presiding over the Plaza del Mercado Grande, it is projected to resemble the basilica of San Vicente. In its atrium the monarchs swore to respect the charters of Castile, which denotes the importance of this church in the period of greatest political importance in the city.
It has a Latin cross plan, with a central nave that is larger than the lateral ones. Begun in the second quarter of the 12th century and concluded in the 13th century, after a period in which the works were paralyzed, an interesting evolution is observed in architecture and decoration, the result of this extensive construction.

Old Synagogue of Don Samuel

Highlight • Religious Site

In Ávila, as in other Castilian cities, Jews, Muslims and Christians coexisted, each community leaving a mark that is part of our cultural heritage. Although written documentation proliferates, influencing the presence of a large and influential Jewish community throughout the Middle Ages of Avila, there are few architectural-archaeological testimonies that can be ascribed to this population. Recently this legacy has been enriched with the archaeological finding of the Jewish cemetery.

Mosén Rubí Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

It is believed to have been built by the Jewish community in 1462 before the great expulsion of the entire Jewish population in 1492 from the Iberian Peninsula during the Inquisition. The building was converted into the church that we see today in the Plaza de Mosén Rubí.
