In our Free Tour to Antonio Gaudí's La Casa Botines, you will discover one of the only three works that Gaudí carried out outside of Catalonia , being the best-known Spanish architect internationally. The other two works are the Capricho de Comillas in Cantabria and the Episcopal Palace of Astorga in León.
Stories, legends, curiosities of this beautiful building are waiting for you, book your place and relive with us the most Modernist Lion of the time.
Itinerary:
At the meeting point , we will begin our visit to the outside of the building where we will be able to contemplate its irregular and slightly pyramidal floor plan. It has been rightly said that Casa Botines is reminiscent of a winter palace, a fairy tale palace.
No construction detail passes without the supervision of the architect: the double-opening doors (easily removable, to facilitate the movement of furniture), the guillotine windows (very unusual in León), the fittings, as well as the use of undercover spaces and the stairs that give access to the interior patios.
We will have the most spectacular views from the towers , where we will contemplate the best-known monuments of León : such as the Roman and medieval walls, the Romanesque San Isidoro, the Gothic cathedral, the Renaissance palace of the Guzmanes, some of the most characteristic buildings of the expansion of the city such as the Alfonso V hotel and the Casa Goyo.
We will end the visit with free access to the Pinacoteca , so you can enjoy at your own pace, the 12 rooms with more than 200 works by artists as well known as Francisco de Goya, Joaquín Sorolla, Salvador Día or Eduardo Chillida.
