Spain
Avila's 12th century cathedral is not widely renowned for its magnificence as it remains unfinished, the historical aspect of the building is interesting though as the cathedral acted as a fortress when the city was under attack from religious armies. There is also an eclectic mix of Gothic and Romanesque building styles which adds a hidden beauty to the building.
