Ávila - Convento de Santa Teresa
|
|
On the south side of the old town, opposite the gate now known as the Puerta de la Santa, there formerly stood the house in which Santa Teresa was born. The site is now occupied by the church (1638) of the Convento de Santa Teresa de Jesús, a convent of Discalced Carmelite nuns. Over the doorway in the relatively plain Baroque facade is a statue of the saint.
