Photograph of the facade of León Cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria de la Regla, in Spain. The view comprises two of the three main portals on the western side of the building with the figures of the Virgin, Christ and St John in the arch nearest to the viewer. Situated above the arches, on the right, is a rose window with a clock. The building features early Gothic ornamentation. A metal fence surrounds the cathedral. A pile of wood is located in the foreground, on the left.
