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.

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.

The truth is that it is a wonderful viewpoint of Ávila.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in El Fresno is a religious building that occupies one of the sides of the town's Plaza Mayor. Built in the 19th century, it was consecrated in 1803 under the dedication of Our Lady of the Assumption. This church replaced a previous parish temple, dedicated to Our Lady of Galindos, which was located away from the urban center. Although its exterior appearance is simple, with ashlars and a brick belfry, its interior offers a reconstructed space with a flat plastered ceiling. On the west side, the belfry stands out with three openings for bells. The temple houses free-standing images, such as a wooden Crucified from the 17th-18th centuries and a Virgin and Child from 1867. The latter, the work of drawing professor Ramón Álvarez, is appreciated for the joyful expression of the Child. If you have the opportunity, I invite you to visit this church full of history and devotion. 🙏🌟

Anyone visiting Avila should definitely visit this viewpoint. You won't find a better view of Avila and especially the imposing wall.

Old Roman bridge that is well preserved and still allows visitors to walk across the river. It's impressive how well the Romans built these structures and how well they were planned to still stand 2000 years later. There's not much to see on the other side, but there are nice views of the western side of the walled city

An impressive welcome to the old town of Ávila. The bridge reaches the old gate of the city wall. The stone bridge, from Roman times, over the Adaja river.

Leaving the river landscape you reach the center of the town and you can rest in the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, from the 19th century.
