The Plaza de Santo Domingo is the heart of the city, a wide roundabout around which the social, commercial and historical life of León revolves. Emerged in 1904 during the expansion process, better known as the expansion, it became a strategic point to unite the Old Town with the modern part of the city.

Casa Botines Gaudí Museum

Highlight • Monument

This building in León, known as "Casa Botines," takes us back to the late 19th century. Designed by the still-famous and esteemed architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), it was originally conceived and built as a residential and commercial building, but now serves as a museum.

León Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Without a doubt, the Cathedral is the emblem of the city and its history begins in the 10th century. On top of the old baths and public buildings that the Legio VII had built in the middle of the 2nd century, stood the royal palace of Ordoño II. In 917, after defeating the Arabs in the battle of San Esteban de Gormaz, the king gave up his residence "gratefully to God" so that the first cathedral temple was erected there.

Roman Walls of León

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the basic needs of medieval cities was a city wall or fortifications in order to protect the city of Leon and its residents from enemy attacks and looting. The remains, some of which have been preserved to this day, are an impressive example of the architecture of the time.
