Basilica of San Vicente of Ávila

Outside the walls, the basilica of San Vicente, built in “Caleño” granite, rises, highly conditioned by the orography, in the place where tradition indicates that Vicente, Sabina and Cristeta were martyred and buried. It is the great model of Romanesque in Ávila and its careful proportions make it a unique example of Hispanic Romanesque; Receiver of foreign influences and of the cathedral's fabric, it is at the same time a diffuser of the style in the city.

It is a spectacular building whichever way you look at it, both inside and out. It's a shame that you can only access the interior by paying an entrance fee, although we were able to enter thanks to the coincidence with mass hours.

You have a particularly good view from the city wall.
