What you'll hear inside Monastery of San Miguel de Escalada:

• 1
  Mozarabic South Portal

  León's southern Mozarabic portico is a rectangular gallery attached to the church's southern wall, running the full length of the main hall until it meets the Romanesque chapel at its eastern end.

• 2
  Romanesque Tower

  The Romanesque tower stands against the south-east corner of the monastery complex, the final addition dating to the 11th century.

• 3
  Iconostasis and Mozarabic Chancels

  The iconostasis and Mozarabic cancels form the liturgical hierarchy of San Miguel de Escalada's interior, physically separating the clergy and monks' spaces from the congregation's area.

• 4
  Apses and Altars of the Chancel

  The chancel of San Miguel de Escalada features three distinctive ultra-semicircular apses, straight on the exterior but curved within, crowned with ribbed barrel vaults.
