Bezienswaardigheden in León

León Essentials

León’s architectural heritage spans from Roman fortifications to contemporary art. The 13th-century Gothic Cathedral features over 1,700 square meters of stained glass, while the Basilica of San Isidoro houses the Royal Pantheon’s 12th-century frescoes. Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Botines and the Plateresque facade of San Marcos represent the city’s later evolution. Modern additions like the MUSAC museum complement historic landmarks like the 16th-century Guzmanes’ Palace and the arcaded Plaza Mayor, all framed by ancient Roman walls.
