Rent accommodation in Avila

Ávila is a city and Spanish municipality, located in the province of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. It is the capital of the province of the same name and of the region of Ávila - which includes the Amblés Valley and the Sierra de Ávila - as well as the seat of the judicial party number 3 of the province and of the homonymous diocese. It is located next to the course of the Adaja river and it is the capital of the highest province of Spain, at 1131 m above sea level, by virtue of which snowfall during winter is relatively frequent in its urban area. The city presents a continentalized Mediterranean climate with hilly nuances. In 2012, its municipal district concentrated 34% of the total population of the province.
After the Roman foundation and the assimilation of the native Vetonian population of the area - since there are no clear indications of a pre-Roman settlement in the historic center - the city would pass to the Visigothic power. Ávila fell, like most of the peninsular territory, under Muslim rule at the beginning of the 8th century, and would not be permanently reconquered by Christian troops until the 11th century. It experienced a remarkable boom during the sixteenth century, to be subsequently plunged into a prolonged crisis and decline until the nineteenth century, in which the construction of the railroad managed to give a boost to economic development.
Ávila owns the titles of "Ávila del Rey" - bestowed by Alfonso VII -, "Ávila de los Leales" - bestowed by Alfonso VIII - and "Ávila de los Caballeros" - bestowed by Alfonso X -, all present on the flag of the city. The hallmark is its complete medieval wall, Romanesque style, also highlighting other representative buildings such as the Cathedral of the Savior - whose cimorro is mounted on the wall - or the Basilica of San Vicente. It has been traditionally considered as "city of songs and saints" and its medieval historical center, in excellent condition, was declared a World Heritage Site in 1985.

The wall of Ávila is a Romanesque military fence that surrounds the old town of the Spanish city of Ávila, capital of the homonymous province, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León.
At present, the old town, the wall and the churches located outside the walls have been declared a World Heritage Site. The walls are the universal symbol and most prominent monument that houses the city of Avila. Its importance derives from being the best preserved medieval walled enclosure in Spain and probably throughout Europe.
The walls are a very important active factor in shaping the urban planning of the city and have historically participated in the distribution of urban space among the various social groups that have inhabited Ávila. The wall represented the separation between "wild space" and "civilized." The countryside, the flat land, lived the peasants who were the lowest social class that maintained the city. 80% of urban infrastructure costs fell on the peasantry, including the wall whose maintenance is called the repair of the walls. According to tradition, the direction of the construction of the wall fell on the two masters of geometry, the Roman Casandro and the French Florín de Pituenga. The study of the defensive structure indicates that it is a related construction, in its morphology and multi-aesthetic (art of building walls and castles) to the walls of the Andalusian area.
The military character of the wall is eminently defensive and still remained with the reforms carried out in the 14th century that reinforced it.
It is owned by the Spanish State and is managed by the Ávila City Council. Some sections, which coincide with some buildings such as palaces and churches (including the cathedral) are private.

The Ávila City Council is the entity that is in charge of the government and administration of the Spanish municipality of Ávila, capital of the homonymous province. It is chaired by the mayor of Ávila, who after the 2019 municipal elections is Jesús Manuel Sánchez cabrera, from Por Ávila. Its headquarters are located in the town hall of Ávila located in the Plaza Chico Market in the capital of Abuca.

The Convent of San José is a cloistered convent of barefoot Carmelite nuns that is located in the Spanish city of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. This is the first conventual foundation carried out by Santa Teresa de Jesús, who had the support of important personalities, such as Bishop Álvaro de Mendoza. It is a National Monument since 1968.
It was built in 1562, although the church, its architectural element of greatest interest, began to rise in 1607. This was designed by the architect Francisco de Mora (1553-1610), who conceived a temple of a single nave, covered with empty vault and dome on the cruise.
Its main façade, configured in two divided planes, with pediment in the upper part and porch of three arches in the lower one, was one of the most imitated in the religious constructions of the 17th century and was adopted as a model of the Order of Our Lady of the Monte Carmelo. Inside is the Chapel of the Guillamas, where the prayer graves of this family are kept.

The building serves as the headquarters for the Teresiano Museum of the Barefoot Carmelites.

The Provincial Council of Ávila is the institution that corresponds to the government and administration of the province of Ávila, autonomous community of Castilla y León (Spain). One of its fundamental functions is to collaborate in the management of municipal activity.

The Provincial Historical Archive of Ávila is created in compliance with the Decree of November 12, 1931 of the Ministries of Justice and Public Instruction whereby the Notarial Protocols over one hundred years old are incorporated into the service of the optional body of Archivists, Librarians and Archaeologists to reorganize them as Historical Archives.

The Convento de la Encarnación is a convent for the closing of Carmelite nuns in the Spanish city of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. This convent became known because it entered Santa Teresa de Jesus in 1535, where she was first a nun and then a mother prioress, before beginning the foundations of convents of her new religious order: the Order of the Barefoot Carmelites.
