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.

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.

Old Roman bridge over the Adaja River

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge was built to facilitate crossing the Adaja River and connect the Roman city of Ávila with the opposite bank. Although only the hidden abutments on the edges of the original Roman bridge remain, the bridge visible today dates back to the 12th century.
