Introduction

The 13th century cathedral was the heart of the city, with its magnificent design, towering spires, and arches showcasing the spirit and personality of the city. Despite being a Gothic architectural masterpiece, the interior of the cathedral is filled with soft shimmering light, gorgeous rose windows, and a hallway of stained glass, creating a unique atmosphere and style of Spanish cathedrals. These stunning works of art demonstrate the exceptional skills of Spanish painters and the superior techniques of glass craftsmen of the time. In addition, the cathedral houses many treasures, including a silver censer on the sanctuary housing the remains of the guardian of Leon, a magnificent choir, and a sacred treasure such as the chapel located behind the altar.
