Abstract


The Convent of Santa Teresa, Avila's third National Monument, has been in restoration since 1982. Its previous state was not good due to the unfavourable physical conditions of the site, to some un fortunate interventions suffered by its structure and to prolonged lack of use of many of its rooms. This paper describes the works of restoration of the building, which have been made applying contemporary intervention concepts but bearing in mind the modesty and firmness of style of Barefoot Carmelitans construction
