    The Cathedral is undoubtedly the symbol of the city and its history dates back to the 10th century. The royal palace of Ordoño II was located on the old thermal baths and public buildings that the Legion VII had built in the mid-2nd century. In 917, after defeating the Arabs in the battle of San Esteban de Gormaz, the king, “thankful to God”, gave up his residence so that the first cathedral temple could be built there.

      We are in front of the majestic Cathedral of León, whose beginnings date back to the 13th century. It is one of the great works of the Gothic style, of French influence. Passage area for pilgrims who travel the Camino de Santiago.

        After crossing the Pyrenees on the French Way, pilgrims pass numerous places of worship, small churches, and village chapels. There are also large and magnificent cathedrals. Of particular note is the church in the center of León, described in Cordula Rabe's guidebook as "the most outstanding and stylistically purest early Gothic building on Spanish soil" and inspired by the Cathedral of Reims (France).
