Located beside the Torío River, this modern church marks the southern entrance to León with a simplicity that contrasts with the mountains in the background. It was built on the site where locals used to gather to cross the river when the old bridge overflowed. Every year, during the neighborhood festival, the bells ring at dusk, their sound mingling with the echo of the water. A small church that preserves the peaceful spirit of the river people.
