Description
The Basilica de San Vicente in Avila Spain stands on the traditional site of the martyrdom of St. Vincent at the hands of the Romans. According to legend, a rich Jew laughed at the saint's execution, but afterwards he was nearly suffocated by a serpent that emerged miraculously from the rocks. He repented, converted, and built a church on the site. The Basilica de San Vicente that stands today dates from the 12th century and is mostly Romanesque in style but with some later additions.
