CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Leon |
| The San Marcos convent
was originally a hospital for pilgrims. Later, it was a convent, a
prison and barracks, and a hotel. It was the head of the order of
Santiago in the kingdom of Leon. The main part of the building, which has been recognised as a national artistic monument, follows plateresque canons, with the habitual mixture of Gothic elements, and Baroque additions are not lacking. It is an imposing building, for its size, with its well cut stone, the towers, the cloister and the main two-tier portal. Four columns of the giant order frame the door and the balcony, with beautiful sculptures. Despite the effects of erosion, the sculptural beauty of the medallions, with busts of figures of old, and other contemporary busts of those who worked on it, is perhaps the most impressive feature. |
