Basilica of San Vicente, ÁVILA

Art print. Basilica of San Vicente de Ávila

In the year 306, during the persecution of Diocletian, the siblings Vincent (of Ávila), Sabina and Cristeta suffered martyrdom for refusing to sign a document in which they had to acknowledge having offered sacrifices to the Roman gods.
According to tradition, their bodies were placed in a hollow in the rock, and the current basilica was later built on that site. Legend says that the Jew responsible for their deaths, filled with remorse, decided to build a temple to bury them, a story depicted in a relief on the cenotaph.
