catedral de santa maría de león


The Santa María de León Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the artistry and engineering of the medieval period. Known as the House of Light, its walls seem to dissolve into the magnificent stained glass windows that fill the space with vibrant colors. The cathedral's French influence is evident in its design, which began in the 13th century and was completed by the mid-15th century. It is not only a place of worship but also a part of the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route. The Pulchra Leonina, with its rich history and breathtaking artistry, continues to inspire awe and devotion in its visitors.
