Daily Life In Leon

The Cathedral of Leon in Spain, which began construction in the 13th century, is being admired as one of the great works of the Gothic style with French influence. Known by the nickname ''Pulchra leonina,'' meaning ''Beautiful Leonese,'' it stands prominently on the Camino de Santiago and holds the distinction of being the first building declared a monument in Spain.
