What to expect
The first landmark is the Catedral de León itself, whose 1,800 square metres of medieval stained glass — more than any other Gothic cathedral in the world — fill the interior with shifting coloured light at every hour of the day.
From there the app takes you to Plaza San Isidoro, home to the Basilica of San Isidoro — a Romanesque masterpiece whose Royal Pantheon is decorated with 12th-century frescoes so vivid and complete they have been called the Sistine Chapel of Romanesque art.
The route concludes at the Convento de San Marcos, a former pilgrim hospital turned Renaissance monastery whose elaborate plateresque facade stretches along the riverbank in a display of 16th-century architectural ambition.
Around 2 hours on foot. León is best walked slowly — almost every building has something to say.
