Your Itinerary
Church and birthplace of Saint Teresa of Jesus
The tour starts at the Church and Birthplace Of Saint Teresa. The beautiful church in pure Baroque style was built on the house where the legendary life of Saint Teresa began. Needless to say, it has long been a popular pilgrimage spot for Catholics from around the world.
Puerta del Alcazar
Next, visit the Alcázar Portal, a giant gate of the emblematic city walls. The fairy-tale-looking portal is one of the only three gates that give access to the top of the imposing walls, where you can take postcard pictures and enjoy fabulous views of the charming Mercado Grande Square just opposite and its most significant landmark: the Parish of St. Peter the Apostle.
Parish of St. Peter the Apostle
Then, examine the splendid details on the Romanesque exterior of the parish. Its gorgeous façade stands out for an exquisite large rose window in the style of the Cistercian abbeys, and the north doorway is the most elaborate: a semicircular arch door lavishly decorated with five archivolts and geometric motifs and rosettes.
Plaza Mercado Chico
The next destination is the city’s favorite meeting point: Mercado Chico Square, located in the heart of the walled Ávila. Flanked at one end by the Town Hall and the other by the Church of San Juan Bautista, the square boasts a beautiful showcase of historic architecture. Meanwhile, the lovely shops nestling under the elegant porticoes and lively outdoor markets fill the square with vibes!
Villa Basilica
Finally, visit the Basilica of San Vicente, a World Heritage Site. The oldest church in the city was built on the site of the martyrdom of St. Vincent. The stunning 12th-century portals and portico of the basilica, fine examples of Romanesque simplicity, hide inside one of the best Romanesque altarpieces and a crypt dedicated to the Saint. Noteworthy that the peaceful San Vicente Garden across the road is a perfect spot to rewind after a long walk!
