Tomb of Santa Teresa Description
The town has many memories of the great mystic Santa Teresa of Ávila. Her tomb is in the richly furnished church of the Carmelite convent of the Anunciación, which she founded in 1570. The convent, which has a handsome Renaissance doorway, lies below the beautiful Plaza Mayor; the way to it, along a narrow lane, is signposted. The saint's remains (her heart and one arm) are preserved in a reliquary above the altar, a gift of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, daughter of Philip II.
