It's pretty darned spectacular in it's Gothic kind of way. The stained glass windows are not the most interesting around, but if one is walking by anyway, I would say not to fail to stop in for a look. As others have mentioned, the criptas are a must.

Another tip is that if you want to experience life in Leon, then you should walk from here to the city center, which is about 4-5 blocks and you get to see all the different businesses and... More
