Discover one of Gaudí's masterpieces with a visit to Casa Botines, where you'll see modernist architecture in this iconic building. It's a must-see for architecture lovers!
Why Visit the Casa Botines?
Located in the Plaza de San Marcelo in the heart of León’s historic center, the iconic Casa Botines is a stunning modernist building that now houses a museum dedicated to the genius of Antonio Gaudí. Known for his masterpieces like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and Park Güell, Gaudí designed very few works outside of Catalonia, and this majestic building in León is one of them.
With your ticket to Casa Botines, you'll explore the main floor, where you'll learn about the building's history. You’ll also experience both physical and virtual recreations of the businesses that once occupied the first floor: in 1893, it was home to a fabric store run by Simón Fernández and Mariano Andrés, and from 1931, it served as a bank office.
We recommend climbing up to the second floor, where you’ll step into a recreation of a 19th-century home designed by Gaudí. Here, you’ll also find the interactive exhibition Gaudí, the Architect of Dreams, where you can “fly over” other architectural wonders created by the Catalan master.
