Los Cuatro Postes, Ávila


Los Cuatro Postes. Photo by Jorge González.


Los Cuatro Postes ("The Four Posts") is a little shrine 1.5km outside the walled city of Ávila. A cross covered by a four-posted canopy marks the spot where, at age seven, St. Teresa's uncle stopped her from running off to seek martyrdom from the Moors. The hilltop site makes a fine vantage point for admiring the great medieval walls of the town.
