Leon is hard to beat for interesting history. If you want to get a true appreciation and understanding of León, a city tour is a great way to scratch the surface.
Built over a period of 67 years, ending in 1814, and consecrated by Pope Pius IX in 1860, this magnificent building still maintains the status of being the largest cathedral in Central America.
Every aspect of this cathedral, whether standing on the roof or admiring the facade, will overwhelm you with how intricately beautiful and historically fascinating this building is.
The Sutiava neighbourhood is still recognised for its large indigenous population, its cultural and historical significance, and the fact that it is also home to León’s oldest church, San Juan Bautista Sutiava.
