Cathedral of Light

The cathedral in Leon is known for its stain glass windows, much like Chartres Cathedral in France. There are 3 stories of stained glass and several rose windows. This amazing cathedral was built in only 50 years by a city of 5000 people. I'm sure it was funded by the Catholic Church, but regardless, that was quite a feat. The windows were lovely to look at when I was in there around noon, but the light was supposed to be the best either early in the morning or late afternoon. I tried to get back in during the afternoon but I didn't want to pay 5 euros  again and the guard wouldn't let me in with my ticket from earlier.
