The Plaza de Santo Domingo is the heart of the city, a large roundabout around which the social, commercial and historical life of León revolves. Created in 1904 during the expansion process, better known as the ensanche, it became a strategic point for linking the Old Town with the modern part of the city.

We are in front of the most important square in the city of León. Inaugurated in 1904, the Plaza de Santo Domingo offers us elements of interest such as the Museum of León or the church of San Marcelo.

By choosing this name, the bishopric of Leon pays tribute to a saint whose name will be familiar to the many pilgrims who pass through here on the “Camino frances”, because some time before (in the autonomous region of La Rioja) they reached the town named after him, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also a very famous destination on the approximately 800-kilometer-long pilgrimage route from the Pyrenees to the tomb of the apostle in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.
