Built on the ancient Roman city wall, this museum offered excellent exhibits, demonstrating what Leon and its surrounding area were like during Roman times. It helped me understand the significance of the area for the Romans.

This museum is excellent. A well thought out and presented history of the region. Whoever was responsible for the curating did an excellent job and the exhibits accompanying text was extremely well written. Information in English was appreciated. The collection of day to day Roman artifacts is impressive and the best I've seen.
9. Museo Casa Botines Gaudi
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 1,099 reviews
The Museum is sponsored by the Fundación Obra Social de Castilla y León. It explores the building's history and Antonio Gaudí himself, and houses 19th and 20th century paintings and works of art by Ramón Casas i Carbó, Raimundo de Madrazo, Joaquín Sorolla, José Gutiérrez Solana, José Navarro Llorens, Ignacio Pinazo, Nicanor Piñole and Joaquín Mir Trixet, among others. Gaudí's own particular brand of magic shines through in the details: the Catalan vaults, the cast-iron pillars, the stained glass windows on the first floor, the light in the interior patios, the wood and steel staircases and the attic space which affords access to the original turret from 1893, among other features. Casa Botines, whose corner turrets lend it an air of a fairy tale castle, is one of the most compelling pieces of nineteenth-century architecture in Spain. The Gaudí who created Casa Botines was a true architect; an artist with the skill to seamlessly blend technique and aesthetics.

We thought this would just be a basic tour of the inside of a building. The Casa Botines has a lot of information on Gaudi as well as a fairly large collection of paintings of the period in addition to furnishings and other information on the construction and history of the building. Worth a visit.
