Catedral de Avila, Castile and Leon, Spain

4.5 (2.027 reviews) Thursday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #6 in Castile and Leon Historic Sites • Religious Sites

A brilliant building.

Absolutely stunning. Unusual in rather than ornately painted ceilings or other decorative finish it is con-trasting stone colours, browns and cream, that are the striking feature. Combined with a beautiful altar piece, side altars and huge pillars it is very impressive. Then you move on to the Capilla De San Bernabe, wonder-ful and then the museum area. An altogether brilliant building.

    Flashy cathedral
    This cathedral is one of the many similar big and crazy elaborate gilded European cathedrals. It is cheap - a few euros - and while none of the artwork is notable, there is a lot of it and it's interesting. I liked the less-ornate but more unique basilica outside the wall just a little better

    Fabulous
    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this cathedral. It is so beautiful inside, with plenty to see of interest. The entry price of a few euros includes a guide on your mobile phone, in English. It made our visit so worthwhile. The sheer majesty of this cathedral in a relatively small town is mind blowing! We spent well over an hour in this wonderful ancient cathedral.
