The visit to the medieval city wall from the 11th-14th century is highly recommended with its 88 towers and 9 city gates - the entrance fee is justified, a large part of the city wall is accessible. Unfortunately, there were too few audio guides - we didn't have any. You have grandiose views of the Congress Hall, the Carmelite Convent of San José (place of activity of St. Teresa in the 16th century), the Cathedral, the Romanesque Church of San Vicente and into the nearby mountains.

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.
