Leon

Built around the Roman camp of Legio VII Gemina, León grew into the historic capital of the medieval Kingdom of León. The city stands on the Bernesga River in northwestern Castile and León, where its old quarter preserves a dense sequence of Roman, medieval and later streets. León Cathedral, begun in the 13th century, is celebrated for its extensive stained glass; nearby, the Romanesque Basilica of San Isidoro contains the Royal Pantheon, burial place of León's medieval monarchs. The Barrio Húmedo remains a social centre of tapas bars and traditional Castilian cooking. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of León and the province of León.
