アビラのおすすめMTBライド

カニャーダ・レアル・ソリアーナ・オクシデンタル沿いにアビラを出発し、この丘の上から街とその城壁を眺める価値はあります。

11世紀から14世紀にかけての中世の城壁の見学は、88の塔と9つの城門があり、絶対にお勧めです。入場料は正当であり、城壁の大部分を歩くことができます。 残念ながら、オーディオガイドが少なすぎたため、私たちは利用できませんでした。 コンベンションセンター、カルメル会修道院サン・ホセ（16世紀の聖テレサの活動場所）、大聖堂、ロマネスク様式のサン・ビセンテ教会、そして近くの山々まで、素晴らしい景色が楽しめます。

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.

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.

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.

The Walls of Ávila are an impressive medieval fortification that surrounds the old town of Ávila, in Castile and León. These walls, built in the 11th century, are one of the best-preserved walled enclosures in Spain and were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Aside from archaeological evidence pointing to a primitive fence from the Late Antiquity (5th century) period, which would have enclosed a small space, the wall is essentially medieval. With a perimeter of 2,516 m (encompassing an area of 33 hectares), 87 towers or towers, 9 gates and 2 gatehouses, and 2,500 merlons, Ávila's wall is the best-preserved walled enclosure in the world.

This bridge was built to facilitate crossing the Adaja River and connect the Roman city of Ávila with the opposite bank. Although only the hidden abutments on the edges of the original Roman bridge remain, the bridge visible today dates back to the 12th century.
