The well-known nun Santa Teresa de Jesús was in this impressive Convent in the city of Ávila, where memories of her life and work are kept in a museum that can be visited for an entrance fee.

A historical and tourist place of great importance, especially for Catholics. As you enter through the Puerta de la Santa, you will see a beautiful square with the statue of Saint Teresa and the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites. Crossing this square will take you to the main entrance of the church.

The Convent of Saint Teresa in Ávila is one of the city's most emblematic sites, deeply linked to the figure of Saint Teresa of Jesus, a mystic, writer, and reformer of the Carmelite Order. The convent was built in 1636 on the site of Saint Teresa's birthplace, in the Plaza de la Santa, at the initiative of the Discalced Carmelites.
