Leon Cathedral, Leon Spain
After yesterday’s festival the streets of Leon were quiet today, I am sure there is much more going on this evening! Today we had time to see the Gothic Cathedral, built between the 13th and 14th centuries, it is the over 1800 square meters of medieval stained glass.

So much has been written about the cathedral, I specifically remember someone writing that I would get a creak in my neck from gazing up at the vaulted ceiling, the beautiful stained class windows, relief carvings and fresco painting. They were right, while some restorations is taking place, and there is still much to do, it is one of those magnificant works of architeture and are that everyone should visit.
Amazing!! The stained glass is beautiful!
it is amazing to thing that so much of it was created over 800 years ago! the building has a quiet beauty about it that is undescribable.
