Guided tour of the Cathedral of León

Have you ever seen the light become architecture? The Leon Cathedral, known as the Pulchra Leonina, is one of the greatest treasures of European Gothic. Its lighter than usual walls and more than 1,800 m2 of stained glass create a unique effect: the stone disappears and the light envelops everything, generating an almost unrealistic and dreamlike atmosphere. Before the Doomsday Gate you will discover much more than sculptures: a 13th century visual account full of symbols, angels and scenes that taught those who could not read. Inside, you will walk the Renaissance transcoro, the girola and its chapels, admire the main altarpiece and the choir saddlery with its imposing organ. You will also stop at the tomb of King Ordoño II, understanding the importance of this temple in the political history of the Kingdom of León. An essential experience that is not explained: live. Book now and secure your place.
