In static spherical symmetry, this theory admits an exact black hole solution, which generalizes the standard Schwarzschild solution through the presence of two new terms in the metric, having a linear and a quadratic dependence on the radial coordinate. To test the astrophysical validity properties of the solution, we perform a detailed analysis of its lensing properties in the strong field regimes. In particular, we consider the shadow of the Weyl geometric black hole, and we obtain a first set of constraints on the solution parameters by using the observational data from the shadows of the M87* and Sgr A* supermassive black holes. As a second possibility of observationally testing the Weyl geometric black hole and constraining its free parameters, we consider the strong lensing in this geometry. We investigate in detail the basic strong lensing observables, including the angular position of the images, the angular separation, the relative magnification, the radii of the Einstein ring, and the relativistic time delay. For all these quantities, a comparison with the predictions of the standard Schwarzschild black hole solution is performed by using realistic astrophysical data.
