Interior Castle or Residences

A castle divided into several dwellings was the comparison that Saint Teresa used in the 16th century to describe the successive stages that the soul traverses on its path towards God. This book conveys the spiritual doctrine of the Carmelite reformer and, at the same time, reflects her personal experience. The seven dwellings of the interior life into which the work is divided represent the stages of holiness that man must reach to attain perfection.
