Description
With the massive defenses of Ávila's ancient stone walls as a backdrop, stands a white statue of Saint Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus. She was a 16th-century Carmelite nun, Spanish mystic, celebrated spiritual writer, and poet. Teresa spent her entire life in Ávila 1515–1582.
The Spanish city of Avila has been inhabited since before the 5th century BC; beginning as a small fortified town conquered by the Romans about 61 BC. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it was held by the Visigoths, then the Moors, and subjected to repeated attacks by northern Christian kingdoms.
