Ávila - Ermita de San Segundo del Río Adaja


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.
The hermitage was built outside the city walls in the 13th century. Despite a remodeling in the 16th century, some original Romanesque elements have been preserved.
Tradition holds that in 1519 a tomb containing the remains of San Segundo, the legendary first bishop of Ávila, was found in the hermitage.
