SPAIN

A visit to the mediaeval city  of Avila must begin with a visit to THE WALLS, the best example of Romanesque military architecture in Spain and a unique model of mediaeval European architecture.  ÁVILA  was declared a World Heritage site in 1985 and since 2005 has been included in the network of Spanish Judaism sites.  Avila’s cultural heritage is a reflection of its history, its architecture, its people and landscape.  People with disabilities are able to access to the Walls of Avila  via ramps or a lift,  which is located by the Arco del Puente Adaja, inside the Wall, in the calle Marqués de Santo Domingo.
