Sahagún

Sahagún holds some of the earliest examples of mudéjar architecture in Spain, with the churches of San Lorenzo and San Tirso among its most visited monuments, alongside the ruins of the Royal Monastery of San Benito. The town sits at roughly the halfway point of the French Way of the Camino de Santiago — where the Camino de Madrid also ends — and gained prominence in the 11th century under Alfonso VI of León, who granted it a charter and promoted the Cluniac route. The Battle of Sahagún in 1808 saw British light cavalry defeat a larger French force nearby.
