A Gem of Romanesque Architecture: Basilica of San Isidoro

The Basilica of San Isidoro, founded in 1063 by Fernando I and Doña Sancha, is older than León's cathedral and showcases extraordinary Romanesque artistry.

This church houses the Royal Pantheon, various sacred relics, and medieval jewels, making it a significant site for both cultural and historical exploration. The Puerta del Perdón, attributed to Maestro Mateo, exemplifies pure Romanesque style while the stunning frescoes often draw comparisons to the Sistine Chapel.
