Casa Botines Gaudí Museum

Highlight • Monument

This building in León, known as "Casa Botines," takes us back to the late 19th century. Designed by the still-famous and esteemed architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), it was originally conceived and built as a residential and commercial building, but now serves as a museum.

San Marcelo Square and the Lion Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

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.

León Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Without a doubt, the Cathedral is the emblem of the city and its history begins in the 10th century. On top of the old baths and public buildings that the Legio VII had built in the middle of the 2nd century, stood the royal palace of Ordoño II. In 917, after defeating the Arabs in the battle of San Esteban de Gormaz, the king gave up his residence "gratefully to God" so that the first cathedral temple was erected there.
