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.

The Church of Chozas de Abajo is located in the central square of the town, next to the House of Culture. It is a modern and simple construction, with a bell tower that stands out for its artistic design and breaks with traditional rules. This church is an important landmark in the town and is part of local festivities, such as the Fiestas de San Martín on November 11 and the Fiesta del Verano on August 10.

The Project - G. San Millán in Villar de Mazarife is a work of art located in this small town in the province of León. This project is known for its magnificent mural that welcomes pilgrims who travel the French Way. The mural is located at the entrance of the town and is one of the highlights for visitors and pilgrims.

A beautiful, lively square right at the entrance to the old town of Leon.

EL LEÓN DE SALEAL: We go back to Roman times to understand part of the theme of this sculpture. Cloacina, in Roman mythology, was the goddess who ruled over the Cloaca Máxima, the sewer system of Rome. The sewer name comes from the name of this goddess, because thanks to the origin of sewer systems, a quality of life was achieved in terms of sanitation of urban environments and public health from the beginning to the present day. It should be remembered that the origin of the name of this city and province of León comes from the word legio ("legion"). Legio VII Gemina was the Roman camp that settled here and with it the origin of the city of León. A lion with strength and claws as a symbol of the sanitation system (the modern version of Cloacina Máxima) in constant renewal and maintenance. The goal was achieved: to do something symbolic and reflect the efforts and human work of so many years, to give solidity to our public health and the health of the environment.

Very well done how the lion climbs out of the drain here

The building was designed by Gaudi. Inside there is a museum that displays some of his works.

Above the entrance door there is a sculpture of Saint George killing the dragon. The building was designed for the weaving workshop on the ground floor and semi-basement, while the remaining four floors were used for rental apartments. Designed by the architect with a cubic shape, the four corners are highlighted with pointed elements.
