Le Chateau interieur est un ouvrage de Therese d'Avila. La carmelite Therese de Jesus, future sainte Therese d'Avila, redige entre le 2 juillet et le 29 novembre 1577 cet ouvrage mystique initialement intitule Las Moradas (signifiant en espagnol Les Demeures). Il sera finalement publie sous le titre Castillo interior (Le Chateau interieur). L'image du Chateau renvoie a l'ame qui doit passer par des stades successifs pour atteindre la purete et la perfection. Ces stades correspondent aux sept demeures du chateau, dans lesquelles l'ame se perfectionne graduellement avant d'atteindre l'ultime, ou se trouve Dieu, et ou se scelle l'union divine. L'ascese, la priere et la meditation sont les portes d'entree du chateau qui permettent d'acceder a l'extase du pur Amour.
