Linked from its origin to the Leonese monarchy , whose bodies rest in the Royal Pantheon where the best set of Romanesque paintings in Spain is preserved, known as the “ Romanesque Sistine Chapel” .

San Isidoro was also the seat of the first courts held in Europe , those of 1188 in which representatives of the three states met and that supposed the germ of the future parliamentarism .

In addition, in this Free Tour, you will be able to discover ancient stories and legends linked to this monastery , as well as why the one known as the Chalice of Doña Urraca is considered by some researchers as the "Holy Grail".

Mi guía fue muy amable, porque fallaron dos personas y así mismo hizo el tour para mí. Me pareció muy profesional, legal y amena. Me proporciono datos interesantes.

Me ha encantado su contenido, la amabilidad y profesionalidad de la guía, que como leonesa ha sabido despertar mi curiosidad desde el principio. El grupo es reducido, medidas Covid espectaculares y tienen material de apoyo que te muestran en el recorrido. Con sorpresa final incluidas. Muy recomendable.
