Leon, located in the northwest of Spain is the capital of the province of Leon, a city famous for its beautiful architecture and rich history. Founded in the first century as a military outpost for the Roman Empire, the city has been invaded and occupied by various tribes and cultures, such as the Visigoths, Moors, and Christians. As a result, the city's architecture has an eclectic mix of styles that are an attraction for visitors from around the world. One of the most iconic landmarks of Leon is the magnificent Gothic cathedral of Santa Maria de Regla, built in the 13th century on the site of a Romanesque church. The cathedral is known for its stunning stained-glass windows and its ornate façade. Visitors can also explore the city's medieval walls, including the historic Barrio Humedo, a lively neighborhood in the heart of the city where visitors can enjoy tapas and drinks. Apart from the city's medieval history, Leon is also known for its modern art. The MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y Leon) is located in the city and houses a collection of contemporary art from around the world. This modern addition to the city's cultural scene is popular among visitors who enjoy both the old and the new.
