San Marcos · optional extension

Its Plateresque façade recalls the artistic richness of this historic ensemble. San Marcos needs time of its own northwest of the historic centre. Its broad façade introduces another monumental scale in León, connected with the history of the hospital and religious ensemble and now also with hotel and museum uses. Before looking for an entrance, observe the building from the square and its relationship with the Bernesga surroundings. Do not confuse the Parador hotel, church and museum spaces: their functions and conditions differ. Viewing the exterior does not authorise entry into private areas. Check what can be visited and arrange your return to the centre. This is a day extension requiring allowance for distance, breaks and available energy.
