Conference venues in Leon - Meeting Rooms

Conferences, meetings, and events will enjoy the historic quarter of Leon (Roman Wall, 14th and 17th century Palaces), the gothic cathedral – 12th century, and Renaissance buildings. Over 20 Leonese kings are buried in the Basilica de San Isidoro, and other attractions include the Leon Museum, and Museum of Archaeology, and the recently-opened Museum of Contemporary Art. Venues include over 15 three- to five-star hotels (half of them specialist conference properties), cultural/heritage settings, as well as the City of Leon Auditorium (seating to 1150). Proximity to key centres like Astorga (cathedral, Episcopal palace), Ponferrada (on the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compestala), and Las Médulas (once a gold mine, now a World Heritage Site) are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Leon easily using the local airport (6km), and rail services. In conclusion: think of Leon as something of a pilgrimage destination, a place of parks and gardens (and near a National Park), ideal for adventure and water sports, and combining the past skilfully blended with the present.
