Another cathedral religious museum

Spain Westward Journey ~ León (Region) There is an interesting museum with gold and religious paintings, a magnificent monstrance designed by Enrique de Arfe (16th century). In the Chapel of Mercy of the Benedictine Monastery of the Holy Cross there are the tombs of Alfonso VI… and his women (Sahagún). Alfonso VI died in Toledo on the night of June 30-July 1, 1109, and was buried in Sahagún on August 12 of the same year. His remains, as well as those of his three wives (Inés, Constanza and Berta) and the Andalusian princess, Zaida or Zaida (Isabel), consort of the king, were found in the Monastery of Santa Croce (Benedictine). #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León
