Church of San Andrés

San Andrés Church features three naves separated by cruciform pillars, with a central nave wider than the side ones and semicircular arches throughout the structure.

Built in the early 12th century by artists from León, the church served its parish until 1911 and underwent significant renovations during the 1930s and 1960s.

The church displays intricate historical capitals decorated with plant motifs, chessboard patterns, and four-leaf rosettes, representing medieval artistic craftsmanship.

Located in the historic center of Ávila, the church stands near other notable landmarks and remains accessible through public transportation routes.

The wooden coffered ceilings from the 15th century cover the naves, featuring distinctive tie beams and multiple tie rods in the central section.
