Ávila - Basílica de San Vicente
Under the Visigoths, Ávila was one of the most important cities in the kingdom due to its proximity to the capital Toledo. From the 8th to the 11th centuries, Ávila was Moorish. The situation in the contested borderland between the Muslim and Christian worlds prevented prosperity, which only began in the 15th century when the fighting moved further south. The city experienced its heyday in the 16th century. The plague, the expulsion of the Moriscos (baptized Moors), and the emigration of many people to America caused Ávila's gradual decline, from which the city has only slowly recovered since the 19th century. Today the population is around 60,000.
San Vicente is on the Latin cross plan, with a nave and two aisles ending in semicircular apses.
According to legend, martyrs Vicente, Sabina and Cristeta were martyred during the rule of Diocletian. Their corpses were buried and later a basilica was built over their tombs. In 1062 their remains were moved to Burgos, but in 1175 they were returned to Ávila, and the construction of a new basilica was started. Construction was finally finished in the 14th century.
Cenotafio de los Santos Hermanos Mártires
The Cenotaph of the Holy Martyrs is a large funerary monument with an architectural and sculptural structure dating from the second half of the 12th century and a canopy added in the 15th century.
The cenotaph stands on a platform supported by double columns. The capitals are carved with acanthus leaves and form groups of four columns in the corners. There are further arches above the capitals and below them the reliefs of the apostles, the evangelists and other people.
At the beginning of the 21st century, a restoration was carried out that included the restoration of polychromy.
