This
large region is set on an enormous, peculiar platform known as the meseta. León
was the capital of an important Christian kingdom in the Middle Ages.
It has a flat countryside and truly splendorous historical and architectural heritage
with a 13th-century cathedral, modelled on the great Gothic cathedrals of France
and noted for its well-crafted stained glass window.
