    Ávila Cathedral is perhaps the first Gothic cathedral in Spain and is interesting in that its semicircular Romanesque apse, stabilized by buttresses, was incorporated into the city's fortifications. The interior has three naves with a transept. The choral part is extremely rich; famous is the tomb of Bishop Alonso Fernández de Madrigal. There is a cathedral museum.

        The cathedral was built in the 12th century on the remains of an ancient mosque. It is the first Gothic cathedral in Spain. Its architecture fuses Romanesque, French Gothic and Renaissance elements.
