The image of a lion emerging from a sewer in front of the façade of San Marcelo has generated hundreds of reactions on social networks and dozens of interpretations of what the two artists wanted to represent: José Antonio Cuenca and Alejandro Sáenz de Miera.

Although there are not as many lion sculptures as we might expect, these artistic works are still an important part of León's heritage and identity. 🦁🗺️
