Romanesque basilica built from 1063 on the site of an earlier wrecked monastery, which in turn was over a Roman temple. The highlight is the "pantheon" or funeral chapel of the kings of León, with magnificent ceiling frescoes. Lying here are King Ferdinand I (1015-1065) and St Isidore of Seville (560-636). The library is packed with 10th-, 11th- and 12th-century manuscripts.
Extensive display of León's prehistory and history.
A 14th-century building housing the Museum of the Kingdom of León, though it's small compared to the city museum.
Grand Gothic cathedral built from the 13th to mid-15th century. The architects used glass wherever it could replace stone, try to visit when the sun is streaming through the stain-glass windows.
