Beautiful construction next to the wall of Ávila that magnifies its presence with the illumination of the sunset.

We were able to enter because it coincided with the service but they quickly "invited" us to leave, however I was able to take some photos.

The Basilica of San Vicente in Ávila is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Spain. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, this basilica is dedicated to the martyrs Vicente, Sabina, and Cristeta. According to tradition, these brothers were martyred in 306 during the Diocletian persecution.

The basilica is also known for its cenotaph, a funerary monument depicting the legend of the martyrs and the repentance of the Jew responsible for their deaths.
