🎧 Listen to Introduction
Built in the 11th century to protect Spanish territory from the Moors, the "City of Saints and Stones" is the birthplace of Saint Theresa and the burial place of the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada, and still retains its medieval simplicity. This purity of form can still be seen in the Gothic cathedral and the fortifications, which, with 82 semicircular towers and 9 gates, are the most complete fortifications in Spain.
