It is believed to have been built by the Jewish community in 1462 before the great expulsion of the entire Jewish population in 1492 from the Iberian Peninsula during the Inquisition. The building was converted into the church that we see today in the Plaza de Mosén Rubí.

Old Roman bridge over the Adaja River

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.
