    A 12th-century inn rebuilt in the 16th century, it was a prison (Francisco de Quevedo was imprisoned there), a cavalry barracks, a hospital, and currently a Parador Nacional.

    San Marcos Square in León is one of the city's most iconic locations. It is located in front of the Convent of San Marcos, an impressive Spanish Renaissance building that now serves as a luxurious parador. The square is known for its beautiful Plateresque façade and its rich history, which includes serving as a hospital for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, a prison, and a cavalry barracks.

    We are in front of the convent of San Marcos, one of the great architectural jewels of the Spanish city of León. It is a transit area of the Camino de Santiago Francés, and if we go back in history, this building was a hospital for pilgrims. It is currently a tourist hostel.
