Calvert is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

Through its detailed descriptions and illustrations, this work aims to offer readers insights into the monumental glories and historical narratives of these significant Spanish cities. The opening of the work introduces the city of Leon, portraying it as a once-thriving capital that now feels cold and desolate, burdened by its age and the remnants of an illustrious past. Calvert recounts the city's transformation through its various occupations, its role in the Reconquista, and its eventual decline as a political center. He discusses key historical figures and events that shaped Leon, hinting at a complex relationship between the diverse cultures that influenced its development, particularly as a Christian stronghold against Moorish forces. The narrative sets a tone that blends historical and architectural analysis, inviting readers to appreciate the deep-rooted history embodied in the city’s structures.
