Leon is the capital of the Leon province. It is a nice provincial town and is mainly famous for its cathedral with its stunning stained glass windows. But the cathedral is far from the only sight. The City walls, the
San Isidoro Collegiate Church and the San Marcos Convent are great as well.
The famous Catalan architect Gaudi also left his traces here. He built the Botines House in 1892.
The walled enclosure plus the adjoining area and several squares have been officially declared of artistic and architectural interest.
