Ávila - Basílica de San Vicente

The interior of San Vicente, with an aisled nave, is dominated by the saints' magnificent shrine under the crossing. The late 12th century shrine, under a 16th Century canopy, is decorated with reliefs of outstanding quality. On the ends are Christ Pantokrator and the Adoration of the Kings; on the front are seven panels relating the story of San Vicente and his sisters. In the crypt of the church is the rock on which the saints are said to have been martyred. The crypt also contains several figures of the Virgin, the most notable of which is the Romanesque Virgen de la Soterraña.
