Sahagun, a city with a long history

Spain Westward Journey ~ León (Region) 67 km southeast of León, we find Sahagún, a historic city located on top of a smooth earthen hill, whose nerve center is the main square or Plaza Mayor, which still preserves its original porticoes. On the street we can see some brick and wood houses, as well as some houses built with clay and straw. The local artistic heritage is a legacy of a prosperous past and includes notable buildings such as the Monastery of San Benito el Real, of which only a neoclassical arch remains, the Mudejar churches of San Tirso and San Lorenzo, built in the 12th and 13th centuries respectively, the Benedictine monastery, now home to the Sahagún Museum, and the Sanctuary of Peregrina, just outside the city. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León
