Hiking

Impressive gateway to the city of Ávila to the old wall.
Because there is a wide plaza in the direction of the door, its grandeur can be admired from a distance.

Hiking

The Alcázar Gate is one of the most impressive entrances to the Ávila wall. Located to the east of the walled area, it is distinguished by its two large towers, each over 20 meters high, connected by a semicircular arch. This gate was one of the first to be built, along with the San Vicente Gate, and retains its Romanesque style.

Hiking

One of the two largest gates of the medieval fortress of Avila. From here you can best see the architecture of the cathedral and get to the apse.
