    Lovely place to visit. I initially thought that was an entrance fee for it but it is free. Don’t miss the cloister, very beautiful! Definitely worth the visit. Make sure you check hours as they close on the afternoons.

    Impressive building with great detail of work out in to arches, doors and borders of facade, must visit inside of the convent as it's not only free but also give you highlights of 3rd century old Stones and tombs.

    Large open plaza with fountains set in the ground. A lovely place to sit near the river surrounded by some very old and historic building. Entrance fee charged to go in the museum (of Leon)

    The renovation of the building is more than you can expect. It includes a Museo de León exhibition in religious topics. The Iglesia is on the Way of Santiago (El Camino), so you can wonder the building in any time. Perfect place with the amazing and great square to have a rest and get dozens of experiences about León and its past and present.

    Beautiful old convent on the river. Turned into a hostel/hotel years ago. being renovated now but the front of building is still something to see.

    We were unfortunately unable to get an English tour - they were only providing tours in Spanish the day of our visit. I appreciated the patience of the guide who did take time to point out highlights for is nonetheless. The Roman Pantheon where the royalty of Spain lie was a must see.

    A lovely place to visit with a few pilgrims passing through on the way towards Galicia. There's a good statue of a pilgrim sitting down with his sandals off, contemplating his fate.

    Because it was closed. The website said nothing about it being closed. No signs indicating it was closed, and after walking from the train station with a big backpack, I walked the circumference of the giant plaza until I found a parking lot guard who told me not to bother. Wasted trip.

    Beautiful. The river seems to have been in full flow. Lots of uprooted trees along the way.

    Really just the plaza to see and the outside. The inside is a hotel.

  • 5/5 Olga S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a part of the museum of León and the entrance is free. Convent was built in XVI century. Museum's part has a lot of objects of middle age and baroque. And another part is a hotel now.

    Nice place to visit... Particularly the church next door. Historically, it used to be part of the original hospital for pilgrims.
