At the northeast side of the roman encampment
Legio VII Gemina by the camp wall, King Sancho
the Fat (dead in 966), built a monastery for
sheltering the rests of the martyr boy from
Cordoba, St. Pelayo. Later it was razed by the
Arabic chief troops. King Alfonso the Vth
(999-1027) rebuilt the monastery using very poor
materials, like clay and bricks. Doña Sancha and
King Fernando rebuilt monastery out of stone and
so began the romanic style in their kingdom. They
choose the portic of the church as a cemetery and
ordered to be buried there. They wanted to
dignify their church with relevant saints relics
they achieved the moving of St. Isidoro's corpse
from Sevilla and St. Vicente's from Avila

Since 1593 "by privilege and pardon, the Blessed
sacrament is always present". In 16th century,
whoever was the author of "La Pícara Justina", he
put in her words this description of the
Collegiate church of St. Isidoro, which was
called of St. Isidro then "If I were very
devotee, I would have to devote myself to see St.
Isidro of Leon, because that one house, in
precious relics, is Jerusalem in indulgences,
Rome in greatness of buildings, a Pantheon in
religion, the anchoret in choir, a sky in the
divine cult, wealth, brocades, silver and gold, a
temple of Salomon". The temple is open day and
night.
