The tradition of welcoming travelers, since León was a city of passage on the Camino de Santiago, in the early Middle Ages, remains happily alive.

That history, written in blood and fire, ran parallel to the development of the Sciences and Arts in the capital of the Kingdom, which is reflected in the monumental and artistic wealth of the City of León.

The admirable jewels of the Romanesque, like the Basilica of San Isidoro; of the Gothic, like the Cathedral of Santa María; of the Renaissance, like the Convent of San Marcos, mark the landmarks of monumental León.
