Church of San Juan Bautista, Romanesque church in Ávila, Spain.
The Church of San Juan Bautista combines Romanesque foundations with Gothic elements and includes a brick tower from the late seventeenth century.
The building served as a gathering place for the town council during medieval times when its atrium connected directly to the Mercado Chico square.
The fifteenth-century Gothic baptismal font within the church marks the location where Saint Teresa of Ávila received her baptism in 1515.
Visitors can explore the church's central nave with star-shaped groined vault and multiple side chapels that display Herrerian architectural characteristics.
The north facade features late Gothic archivolts decorated with spheres and flowers, representing typical architectural elements found in Ávila.
