Day 11 5/11/2013
行走里數 : 412km
今日我哋會去幾個地方睇嘢，第一個地方就係去 Avila ，食完早餐，我哋大概8點到就出發，尋日泊係街位都無咩問題，都幾好 !!
我哋8點幾出發，第一站就係去 Avila ，呢個 Avila 主要係睇佢哋嘅古城牆 (Muralla medieval )，所以我哋都係係外圍到影相就去下一個景點喇。不過其實係城入面都有其他嘅景點，好似教堂、修道院同埋皇宮之類嘅建築物…
The Walls
of Ávila in central Spain
Characteristics
The work
was started in 1090 but most of the walls appear to have been rebuilt in the
12th century. The enclosed area is an irregular rectangle of 31 hectares with a
perimeter of some 2,516 meters, including 88 semicircular towers. The walls
have an average breadth of 3 metres and an average height of 12 metres. The
nine gates were completed over several different periods. The Puerta de San
Vicente (Gate of St Vincent ) and Puerta del
Alcazar (Gate of the Fortress) are flanked by twin towers, 20 metres high,
linked by a semicircular arch. The apse of the cathedral also forms one of the
towers. The fortifications are the most complete in Spain
It is
possible to walk upon the walls themselves for roughly half their
circumference. Whilst some of the walls will never be navigable in this way
because of their integration into other structures, there is a large stretch of
the walls that have yet to be made safe for pedestrians.
The site
was registered as a National
Monument in 1884. In 1985, the old city of Ávila and
its extramural churches were declared a World
Heritage site by UNESCO.
早餐
Avila's city wall is magnificent. It is worth to have a stroll over the city.
