Description
To the north of the Plaza Mayor, between the Puerta del Carmen and the Puerta de San Vicente, is a less crowded part of the old town. Here in 1516 Mosén Rubí, a converted Jew belonging to a noble family of Ávila, built a burial chapel for his aunt María Herrera and her husband. The alabaster tomb was carved by Vázquez Dávila. The chapel, which now belongs to a Dominican nunnery, contains a 17th century polychrome figure of Christ, the Cristo de las Batallas.
