Concert hall building in Leon - Spain modern contemporary architecture

It was consecrated in 1288. The ground plan is inspired by the cathedral in Reims, though the personality of the pulchra leonina presents various peculiarities. It is smaller than the French temple. The main area is made up of three naves, with five in the transept. The ambulatory has five chapels. The roofing comprises elegant quadripartite ribbed vaults, some of them renovated in the nineteenth century. The supports are pillars with slender half columns. The main front has a triple portico with very pointed arches. The central section is modern. The towers had to wait until the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to be completed.The facade of most sculptural value is perhaps the west front, dedicated to the Last Judgement, presided over by Jesus Christ on high displaying the wounds of the Passion. Angels hold the Redeemer's instruments of suffering. At the ends of the facade are the Virgin and St John. In the lintel, St Michael weighs souls; his figure acts as a separation between the damned and the blessed.
