About León
León is Nicaragua's revolutionary heart—a city of street murals, student energy, and intellectual culture. The city's cathedral is said to have the largest dome in Central America, dominating the skyline. León attracts artists and activists, with a gritty authenticity that contrasts with colonial Granada. The city sits inland near the Pacific and volcanos.
