Hermitage of San Segundo, Ávila
Hermitage of San Segundo, Ávila, Romanesque hermitage in Ávila, Spain
The hermitage exhibits sandstone and granite construction with a north façade featuring round archivolts decorated with detailed beadings and rosettes.
Built in the 12th century, the hermitage gained recognition in 1519 when workers discovered the tomb of San Segundo, the first bishop of Ávila.
The interior contains a 16th-century alabaster statue of Saint Segundo created by Juan de Juni, along with an altarpiece displaying additional sculptures.
The hermitage opens during specific periods including the summer program from July to September and Holy Week celebrations.
Located outside the city walls near Rio Adaja, the structure received monument status in 1923 and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
