We'll meet at the time you choose during the booking process inside the Museum of San Isidoro de León to begin the tour of a major monument in León.
Our journey includes various rooms, including the cloister and chapter house. One significant piece is the Arqueta de los Marfiles, from the 11th century.
The highlight is the Royal Pantheon, also known as the Sistine Chapel of the Romanesque. We will explore the history and details of the frescoes.
