León Cathedral

The Cathedral of León, also known as the Pulchra Leonina, is one of the greatest examples of classic Gothic architecture in Spain.

The cathedral is open daily and offers guided tours to the crypts, museum, and towers.

Casa Botines

Casa Botines, located right next to the parking facility, is one of the few buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí outside of Catalonia. Built between 1891 and 1892, it combines neo-Gothic features with Catalan modernism. Notable elements include its pointed towers, stone façade, and a sculpture of Saint George above the entrance. Today, it serves as a museum and the headquarters of the Fundación España-Duero, with exhibitions dedicated to Gaudí’s work.
