Church of San Andrés, Romanesque church in Ávila, Spain

The Church of San Andrés is a Romanesque temple built at the start of the 12th century in sandstone. Its three naves of four bays are divided by pillars with half-columns on all four sides, and the side naves end in small semicircular apses. The main apse has three round-arched windows framed by slender columns beneath a frieze of cubes.

The church was built in the early 12th century by artists from León and served as a parish church until 1911. Major renovations took place during the 1930s and 1960s.

The capitals of the columns are badly damaged, but griffins, harpies and stylised leaves can still be made out. The keystone of the second archivolt of the south portal carries the Christogram. Inside, many capitals with figures of people, animals and fantastic creatures survive.

The church is located in the historic center of Ávila near other notable buildings. It is accessible via public transportation routes.

The church stands north of Ávila's walls in the former quarter of masons and stonemasons, and is held to be the city's oldest Romanesque church, possibly begun at the end of the 11th century alongside the wall itself. Its south portal's second archivolt carries a Christogram on the keystone.
