The document provides details about the history and architecture of Avilés town and some of its important buildings. It describes how in 1155 Alfonso VII granted Avilés a municipal charter, which allowed the town to develop greatly and become the first coastal village in northern Spain. It grew around its port, with two population centers of Sabugo and Avilés separated by the Tuluergo river. The village built defensive walls in the 12th century and the Franciscan Church was the first to be constructed. Traders and sailors lived in Avilés and it became an important center for salt storage and trade. The document also provides architectural details about the Franciscan Church and Old Sabugo Church.

1. Avilés town map In 1155 Alfonso VII grants Avilés a Municipal Charter . As a result Avilés develops a lot and becomes the first coastal village in the North of Spain . Around the port, two independent population centres grow: The neighbourhood of Sabugo and the town of Avilés itself. They are separated by the Tuluergo river .

2. The village builds its wall in the XIIth century. It measured 800 metres and had five gates . Traders and sailors lived in Avilés. As a result of royal privileges, granted by the Municipal Charter, their products weren´t taxed between the sea and León. Avilés was granted the most important salt store in the North of Spain. This allowed the town and the port to grow enormously, because they imported, stored and redistributed salt,a very important product for preserving food in the Middle Ages. The Franciscan Church , as it is known nowadays, was the first church built in Avilés.

3. The neighbourhood of Sabugo, where fishermen and sailors lived, was probably surrounded by a wall too, although it was not very high. Old Sabugo Chuch was also built in that neighbourhood.
