Castille & León GREEN MEN OF LEÓN 3 Nearby places: Lugo, Ponferrada, Astorga
LEON, THE CITY OF THE GREEN KINGS
Green Men on the wooden doors of the Cathedral. They are "Plateresque" a style developed in the Renaissance
Madonna with Child. Where She is very often Green Men are as well. Slowly should you know why!
Green Man with Grail....
