Tour description

Our Free Tour of the Cathedral of León , begins in the Plaza de Santa María de Regla, there we will see the exterior of the 13th century Gothic temple to later get the tickets and access the interior.

On this tour we will enjoy the interior of the Cathedral of León and its famous stained glass windows , always accompanied by the best guides from León who will also tell you about its history and origins. We will also talk about the legends of the Cathedral , its catacombs , the choir stalls , its altarpiece and we will visit the door of the Virgen del dado , a great unknown.
