About the province of León: León is known for its rich historical heritage, which includes significant Roman and medieval landmarks. The province's capital, León, is home to the Gothic León Cathedral, known for its beautiful stained glass windows, and the Basilica of San Isidoro, which houses royal tombs and ancient frescoes. The region is also known for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.

1751 Map of Spain Castilla Robert De Vaugondy 1st Edition, Ric.a001
Located in Norton, MA

He is credited with a map of Poland...
