Hiking

The Monument to Saint Teresa of Jesus next to the Puerta del Alcázar in Ávila is one of the city's most iconic sculptures. It is located in the Plaza del Mercado Grande, right next to the Puerta del Alcázar, one of the most famous entrances to the walls of Ávila.
The monument was created by sculptor Juan Luis Vassallo.
The main figure shows Saint Teresa holding a quill pen, alluding to her work as a writer.
