About

León Guided Tours on foot. We will walk along pedestrian streets which will lead us to Casa de Botines, built by the famous modernist Catalonian architect Antonio Gaudí; the Palace of the Guzmanes, the best sample of civil renaissance architecture in Leon and which now houses the Provincial Government’s headquarters; and the Palace of Conde Luna. The Basilica of San Isidoro is Romanesque style architecture and was built by the Leonese monarchs as a palatine church. This church has witnessed important historic events and has hundreds of chapels that display everyday scenes from the Middle Ages. Inside the Cathedral we will admire and talk about its famous medieval stained-glass windows, an authentic lesson to understand how men thought during the Middle Ages. Nowadays, they have been carefully restored in order to recover the colour and splendour they used to have.
