No doubt we have to talk about some interesting monuments of León, for instance: The Cathedral, a gothic temple in honor of Santa María what it was built in 13th century. It was inspirited on the French cathedral and it has three naves, with gothic vaults. The particular trait is that the towers are separated from the main structure.
San Isidoro Basilic is one of the most important temple in romanic style. 
Its royal pantheon paintings are the Sistine chapel of the romanic. The King Fernando I and his wife Doña Sancha made the donation to support the built of San Juan Bautista Monastery. When the bishop of Seville San Isidoro died, his body was buried on the temple.

It was designed by the architec study Tuñon and Mansilla and it won the Mies Van der Roe architecture award on 2007. The front of the building was inspired on the cathedral stained glass windows: el halconero.
These monuments are very beautiful! It's interesting to see the contrast between the very old buildings and the modern, colorful look of the Musac. Your city seems to have a lot of history and culture, and it also looks very pretty.
ResponderEliminarI also really enjoyed seeing the difference between historical and modern architecture, and the colors of the Musac are so beautiful!
ResponderEliminarThe english in this article is pretty good, but there are some minor grammatical errors. In the first sentence, for example, when you say: "The Cathedral, a gothic temple in honor of Santa María what it was built in 13th century." The english translation of "que," in this case, would be "that was" instead of "what it was." But overall, the article was fun to read!
I love the pictures of the buildings, they're beautiful to look at. I like how Leon has both classical and modern architecture in it, it reminds me a little of Boston, although Boston of course does not have medieval buildings.
ResponderEliminarGood job with your English! However, I did find some small mistakes. In Spanish, "the" is used before titles, such as King Fernando, but in English, it's just "King Fernando I." Also, the preposition that goes after "inspire" is "by" instead of "on." Hope that helps!
