In Avila, a city walled in almost on all sides, I walk into a small shrine which was built on the home of the famous saint, St.Theresa. The 17th century convent , built after her canonisation is largely closed to public but it opens its doors to tourists who want to visit St Theresa’s chapel inside the Baroque church. We see scenes from her life, besides her relics – a finger from her right hand besides rosary beads among other things she used.
Here is a video of the chapel in the convent.
