La Catedral de Leon [Spanish]

By: Taranilla de La Varga, Carlos Javier

Like a jewel of stone and glass, luminous and harmonious, the Pulchra Leonina has stood since the 13th century as one of the most beautiful examples of European Gothic architecture. Built by French masters and now approaching its eighth centenary, León Cathedral dazzles with its spires and stained-glass windows, with the perfect proportions of its towers and flying buttresses. This book traces its history--from its construction and medieval renovations to its major restoration in the 19th century--focusing on the sculptural richness of the exterior, the splendor of the naves and chapels, and the colors of its stained glass windows. The cloister, with its Renaissance vaults and stately tombs, and the Diocesan Cathedral Museum, one of the most complete in Spain, complete this journey through the first Historic-Artistic Monument declared in our country. Rigorous yet accessible, this work offers a clear and documented view of the cathedral that best translates the light of Gothic architecture into stone.
