ÁVILA: Sta Teresa de Jesús, a great mystic woman of the Catholic Church, was born in this city which conserves the most ancient and complete fortified complex in Spain (XI century). Its 2500 m wall and its 90 fortified towers surround the old city, which houses great part of its monumental treasure including a large number of Romanesque style churches, gothic palaces and a fortified cathedral of the XII century.
SEGOVIA: The Roman empire left in Segovia the Aqueduct, which is 16 km long. It was residence of some of the kings of Castilia and preserves one of the most important medieval group of buildings in Spain. The cathedral is considered “the Lady of the Cathedrals” due to its elegance and the Alcassar is the most spectacular castle in the country. |
