Pathway Along the Camino Francés with View of León

Highlight • Trail

This section of the Camino Frances runs along the side of the national highway. A nice section to ride the bike on a narrow dirt road.

Iglesia de Puentecastro

Highlight • Religious Site

Located beside the Torío River, this modern church marks the southern entrance to León with a simplicity that contrasts with the mountains in the background. It was built on the site where locals used to gather to cross the river when the old bridge overflowed. Every year, during the neighborhood festival, the bells ring at dusk, their sound mingling with the echo of the water. A small church that preserves the peaceful spirit of the river people.

Casa Botines Gaudí Museum

Highlight • Monument

Above the entrance door there is a sculpture of Saint George killing the dragon. The building was designed for the weaving workshop on the ground floor and semi-basement, while the remaining four floors were used for rental apartments. Designed by the architect with a cubic shape, the four corners are highlighted with pointed elements.

San Marcelo Square and the Lion Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

EL LEÓN DE SALEAL:
We go back to Roman times to understand part of the theme of this sculpture. Cloacina, in Roman mythology, was the goddess who ruled over the Cloaca Máxima, the sewer system of Rome. The sewer name comes from the name of this goddess, because thanks to the origin of sewer systems, a quality of life was achieved in terms of sanitation of urban environments and public health from the beginning to the present day.
It should be remembered that the origin of the name of this city and province of León comes from the word legio ("legion"). Legio VII Gemina was the Roman camp that settled here and with it the origin of the city of León.
A lion with strength and claws as a symbol of the sanitation system (the modern version of Cloacina Máxima) in constant renewal and maintenance.
The goal was achieved: to do something symbolic and reflect the efforts and human work of so many years, to give solidity to our public health and the health of the environment.

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.
