A
Escuela de Bellas Artes
This school is housed in the beautiful former monastery of La Concepción church, which was converted into a fine-arts school in 1938 and still offers courses. It’s worth coming here to view the murals of Pedro Martínez, plus the Siqueiros Room, which features the extraordinary unfinished mural by David Alfaro Siqueiros (it plays with your mind – we won’t spoil the surprise). The rest of the gallery – a series of rooms – holds temporary exhibitions.

Colegio de Sales
Once a college, founded in the mid-18th century by the San Felipe Neri order, the Colegio de Sales has regained its educational status; it currently houses part of the University of León. Many of the 1810 revolutionaries were educated here. Spaniards were locked up here when the rebels took San Miguel.
