Avila information
Arévalo information
Arévalo is the capital of La Moraña
and it was declared a Historic-Artistic Site It is a village that
has a long fighting tradition. It is also an important example
of Ávila's Mudejar architecture.
The city centre has numerous interesting places to visit, such
as the squares of La Villa and Arrabal, in addition to many religious
buildings, among which the church of Santa María la Mayor stands
out, as well as the church of San Martín, with two slender
towers, San Miguel, and Santo Domingo de Silos, where Gothic naves
contrast with a Mudejar apse and brick walls. Also remarkable
is the imposing castle, remodelled in brick, and with an exceptional
circular keep. Within its walls, Queen Isabel the Catholic lived
for some time. Two kilometres away from Arévalo we find the church
of La Lugareja, the best example of Mudejar art in the whole region.
