Ávila's 12th-century cathedral is both a house of worship and a fortress — its stout granite apse is built into the city walls themselves. The sombre Gothic-style facade conceals a magnificent interior with an exquisite early-16th-century altar frieze showing the life of Jesus, plus Renaissance-era carved choir stalls and an El Greco painting.
