  The Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) is the pathfinder of the
wide-field X-ray telescope used in the Einstein Probe mission. In this study,
we present an image of the Virgo Cluster taken by LEIA in the 0.5-4.5 keV band
with an exposure time of $\sim$17.3 ks in the central region. This extended
emission is generally consistent with the results obtained by ROSAT. However,
the field is affected by bright point sources due to the instrument's Point
Spread Function (PSF) effect. Through fitting of the LEIA spectrum of the Virgo
Cluster, we obtained a temperature of $2.1^{+0.3}_{-0.1}$ keV, which is
consistent with the XMM-Newton results ($\sim$2.3 keV). Above 1.6 keV, the
spectrum is dominated by the X-ray background. In summary, this study validates
LEIA's extended source imaging and spectral resolution capabilities for the
first time.
