The location where Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada was baptized

The Iglesia de San Juan is a catholic temple in the city of Ávila. It is located in the plaza del Mercado Chico, although its main entrance faces the street of San Juan.

In this church, Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada was baptized, the woman who would later be known as santa Teresa de Jesús. The building was declared a national historical-artistic monument on April 13, 1983, by a decree signed by King Juan Carlos I and Minister of Culture Javier Solana.

The surroundings of the building were declared a bien de interés cultural in 1991. The church's history is also recorded in the third volume of the Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar by Pascual Madoz.
