Puerta del Alcázar of Ávila

Highlight • Historical Site

Impressive gateway to the city of Ávila to the old wall.
Because there is a wide plaza in the direction of the door, its grandeur can be admired from a distance.

Ávila City Walls (North Section)

Highlight • Monument

Controversy is the dating of its construction. There are authors who, faithful to tradition, frame it in the last years of the 11th century; Others think that it is a work fundamentally from the second half of the 12th century - beginning of the 13th century, as are neighboring fortifications.

Old Roman bridge over the Adaja River

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Manqueospese Castle

Highlight • Castle

Manqueospese Castle, also known as "Althoughospese," is located in the municipality of Mironcillo, Ávila, at an altitude of 1,360 meters, overlooking the Amblés Valley. This castle is an example of a European mountain fortress, with strong walls adapted to the rocky terrain.

Construction of the castle began in the 15th century by the Dávila family and was completed by Esteban Dávila in the 16th century. The castle is surrounded by legends, including stories of unrequited love and rivalries between knights. Its name, "Manqueospese," is said to come from the expression "although it weighs on you," which is related to these legends.
From its privileged position, the castle offers stunning views of the Amblés Valley and the walls of Ávila. Although it is currently in ruins, restoration and cleaning work are underway.
