ÁVILA, declared a World Heritage site in 1985 and since 2005 included in the network of Spanish Judaism, offers travellers a variety of visits; its cultural heritage is the reflection of its history, its architecture, its people and landscape. This heritage justifies a leisurely visit, at different times of the day and if possible with the help of a good guide to help us to understand the medieval city and the Renaissance, including the reconstruction of the 11th century.

In Avila, as in many medieval Spanish cities, Jews, Mudejars and Christians lived together; all of them left their mark and make up part of our cultural heritage. To make your visit easier, we have designed a series of itineraries; their duration will depend on  the kind of traveller you are and the amount of  time available; we do know that any of these tours will make you want to come back.  The visit may begin at the Museum of Avila,  located since 1969 in the house LA CASA DE LOS  DEANES, known by this name because founders Cristóbal y Juan Vázquez de Medina were deans of  the cathedral. The museum collections are divided  into three sections: Archaeology, Folk Art and Fine Art; a tour through its rooms will allow us to get to know a palace of the 16th century and have an overall view of the history of Avila, its vettón past,  the Roman era, the presence of Muslims and Jews, and also will allow us to get to know the customs  and manners of Avila and its province. The visit  would not be complete without stopping at the  Romanesque church of SANTO TOMÉ EL VIEJO,  today converted to an interesting and unique tourable shop of the museum in which are displayed various archaeological items of various  historical stages.
