Basilica of St. Isidoro (León)
Built in the 10th century in the location of a former Roman temple, the complex of St. Isidoro has been considered as one of the best preserved Spanish Romanesque buildings in the region. The royal Pantheon, home to the remains of the Kings of León, currently holds one of the most important collections of Romanesque paintings in the whole of Spain. The basilica features some classic elements of Romanesque architecture, such as a carved tympanum -- a semicircular wall usually built over a gate or entrance -- decorated with bas-reliefs depicting the sacrifice of Abraham. And while it has had later additions including Gothic elements, it still presents as a well-balanced Romanesque structure.
