레온의 기념물과 궁전

Architectural Gems of León

León’s architectural landscape spans from Roman military foundations to modernist innovation. This selection features Antoni Gaudí’s neo-Gothic Casa Botines and the 16th-century Palacio de los Guzmanes, a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance design. The city's history is further reflected in the medieval cobblestones of Plaza del Grano and the Roman legacy preserved in the Columna Trajana. Completing the list is Espacio Vías, an industrial railway building transformed into a contemporary cultural hub.
