Sahagún, Medieval town in León Province, Spain
The municipality stands between the Cea and Valderaduey rivers, featuring numerous examples of Mudejar architecture at 813 meters above sea level.
The settlement evolved from a Roman city named Camata into a significant religious center after the establishment of a Benedictine monastery in the 9th century.
The town marks the first stop in León Province along the French Way of Saint James, with the remains of Monastery of San Benito reflecting its religious importance.
The tourist office, located in the former Trinidad Church, operates from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in winter and 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM in summer.
Local farmers cultivate specific varieties of leeks, introduced by medieval Cluniac monks, which now hold a protected geographical indication status.
