The Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos is a fascinating paleontological museum showcasing remarkable human fossils discovered at the Atapuerca archaeological site. The museum features exhibitions on early human intelligence, Charles Darwin's work, and educational displays on the process of human evolution. Visitors can also take a shuttle bus from the museum to explore the Sierra de Atapuerca archaeological site, known for its caves, fossils, and stone tools.
I like the building, it's modern, bright, open, it feels good to take a scientific walk in a light and bright atmosphere, in a city such as old style like Burgos. It gives us a bit of hope. And Mei likes " the treasure map", it really helps the kids get through the visit without getting too bored. Thanks!

Simply spectacular. Most of the exhibits (apart from the very top floor) are bilingual (Spanish & English) whilst some of them are interactive. The original fossils are simply stunning. We highly recommend that you take the trip to the archeological site too & see some if the demonstrations. It was a first class day...
A very interesting and educational museum for all ages. One can learn a lot about the history of human civilization. Some exhibits are digital and interactive, which makes the experience even more engaging. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must visit if you are in Burgos!
Incredible, elegant and creative display that synthesizes a ton of wild material. English translations of about 90% of the exhibits. Highlight is definitely the French-made models of hominids. Many of the items on display are replicas, but the replica quality is high.
I think at least a full morning or afternoon is needed as there is so much incredible information and displays to take in.
To find this incredible museum in a fairly small city was a revelation. The displays were informative and inspirational, you must visit Burgos to see this museum and all the other wonderful places within its vicinity!
Fascinating and highly informative museum, suitable for most ages from schoolchildren to adults. All exhibits are described in Spanish and English.
Super cool museum, very interactive inspite is about paleontology, that for me is not the most appealing subject, they made it really cool

Arco de Santa María is a medieval gate that was restored in the 16th century and features intricate carved figures. It has been repurposed for art exhibitions and cultural events. The gate is one of the twelve entrances to the city from the Middle Ages, showcasing its historical significance.
Very scenic place including river, walking area , park and cathedral. All together with Gate of Santa Maria makes thus place kind a magical. You need to see it yourself to appreciate the views and beauty of area. Don’t forget about Italian cream on the right side !

We traveled from USA. From Madrid airport we rented a car and drove to here. It’s spectacular and very impressive architecture, the Arch of Santa María is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Burgos. This is in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. It is one of the twelve ancient access gates that the Burgos wall had in the Middle Ages. It connects the Santa María Bridge, over the Arlanzón River, with the Plaza del Rey San Fernando, where the cathedral is located.
What an entrance this Arch makes. I have seen many arches and this is one of the best. The historical detailing and completeness of this arch is impressive. Its location is just across a short walking bridge, where a lovely walking path runs parallel to the city wall. It leads right into the Cathedral square and makes for a fantastic lead up to the Cathedral. Also makes.for a great meeting place as it is hard to miss.
Super nice, including the bridge behind it. Worth a visit.
Be ready to enter medieval Burgos through this amazing gate, very well preserved. You can even get in for free and admire the fantastic wooden ceilings, the views from the tower, or some temporary exposition inside the rooms.
Beautiful medieval gate linking the paseo del Espolón to the Catedral de Santa Maria de Burgos.
Spend some time admiring the intricate carved stonework.
This is the old entrance to the walled city of Burgos. İt has been very well looked after and it gives you the feeling of the ancient times..Afeter a beautiful walk through the park along side the river you enter the holy part of Burgos where you can find the famous Burgos Cathedral.. İt is a woth while effort to visit all these holy monuments and ancient architecture if you are passing close to Burgos city.
Stunning archway in a brilliant city... Here is my review on YouTube. @realspain burgos by nigel baker

Churches & Cathedrals
Burgos Cathedral is a magnificent Gothic structure in Burgos, Spain, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. It played a significant role in introducing the Gothic style to the country during the Middle Ages. The cathedral features 38 altarpieces, numerous chapels, and intricate religious artwork. It also serves as the final resting place of El Cid, adding to its historical importance.
I echo everyone else 's comments - this is simply a beautiful cathedral that you must visit! Download the audio BEFORE you arrive at the Cathedral! We were able to have Mass in a side chapel. In addition, there are 21 side chapels, each more beautiful than the other. The architecture and the stonework and the various carvings are simply exquisite. It is hard to believe what stonemasons and woodcarvers built hundreds of years ago with simple tools. We did not take the tour- due to time constraints- enjoy the grandeur of this magnificent cathedral. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example. The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Burgos is a Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary located in the historical center of the Spanish city of Burgos. Its official name is the Holy Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica Church of St Mary of Burgos. It all began in the year 1080, when Alfonso VI, who was king of the ancient kingdom of Castile, ordered the construction of a Romanesque cathedral in the city of Burgos: the Church of Santa María de Burgos. In 1219, this church hosted a ceremony of great importance for the kingdom of Castile, the wedding of the then King Ferdinand III of Castile and the Germanic princess Beatrice of Swabia (daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II of Swabia Hohenstaufen).

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name.
Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows.
Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in.
The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly.
Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros
Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter).
My way on Camino de Santiago
Visited April 2025
One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!
Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.
This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!
Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.
Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion.
A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty.
The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region.
The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history.
Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.
A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

Castles
Casa del Cordón, also known as the Palace of the Constables of Castile, is a historic site in Burgos with significant ties to Christopher Columbus and Spain's Catholic monarchs. This 15th-century Gothic building overlooks Plaza de la Libertad and features a carved Franciscan cord at its main door, symbolizing royal occupancy.
(Translated by Google) The Palace of the Constable of Castile, the highest office after the monarchs of the time, takes its name from the Franciscan cord that adorns and encloses the heraldic shields on the main façade. It's a beautiful sight on the outside.
The interior is a museum for the Caja de Burgos (Caja de Burgos). Unfortunately, however, the majestic inner courtyard is closed on weekends and holidays, as this is a branch open on weekdays.
(Original)
Palacio del Condestable de Castilla, el mayor cargo tras los reyes de la época. recibe su nombre del Cordón franciscano que adorna y encierra los escudos heráldicos de la fachada principal. Es una belleza en el exterior.
El interior está musealizado por la Caja de Burgos. Pero, por desgracia, el majestuoso patio interior se encuentra cerrado los fines de semana y festivos, al ser una sucursal en activo en días laborales.
HEAVY M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Casa del Cordón, in the heart of Burgos, is not just stone: it is pure history. Within its walls, one of the noblest chapters in Spanish history was written. Here, beneath its Gothic arch adorned with the Franciscan cord, the Catholic Monarchs received Christopher Columbus after his second voyage to the New World. It was in this house that the destiny of an empire that would forever change the face of the Earth was confirmed. That Spain believed in itself, built cathedrals, charted routes to the unknown, and dared to dream of the infinite.
Today, one contemplates this jewel and feels both pride and sadness. Because while those stones withstand the centuries, we, their heirs, seem to have forgotten what greatness meant. There is no longer vision or courage; only a country that argues over trivialities and disowns its past. The Casa del Cordón remains there, firm, silent, reminding us of who we were and, above all, how little we are becoming. It is the stony testimony of an immortal Spain, in contrast to a society that has exchanged legacy for mediocrity and glory for oblivion.
(Original)
La Casa del Cordón, en el corazón de Burgos, no es solo piedra: es historia pura. En sus muros se escribió uno de los capítulos más nobles de España. Aquí, bajo su arco gótico adornado con el cordón franciscano, los Reyes Católicos recibieron a Cristóbal Colón tras su segundo viaje al Nuevo Mundo. Fue en esta casa donde se confirmó el destino de un imperio que cambiaría para siempre la faz de la Tierra. Aquella España creía en sí misma, levantaba catedrales, trazaba rutas hacia lo desconocido y se atrevía a soñar con el infinito.
Hoy, uno contempla esta joya y siente tanto orgullo como tristeza. Porque mientras esas piedras resisten los siglos, nosotros, sus herederos, parecemos haber olvidado lo que significaba grandeza. Ya no hay visión ni coraje; solo un país que discute sobre pequeñeces y reniega de su pasado. La Casa del Cordón sigue ahí, firme, silenciosa, recordándonos quiénes fuimos y, sobre todo, lo poco que estamos siendo. Es el testimonio pétreo de una España inmortal, frente a una sociedad que ha cambiado el legado por la mediocridad y la gloria por el olvido.
(Translated by Google) This magnificent 15th-century building, built for the Constables of Castile, has been the scene of several major historical events: here the Royal Navy welcomed Columbus upon his return from his second voyage; the annexation of the Kingdom of Navarre to the Kingdom of Castile and León was signed; and so on.
You can see the courtyard upon entering during office hours, or from the outside of the former Caja de Burgos shopping center.
With the plundering of the former Bankia by La Caixa, now also in Burgos, as in other cities in Castile and Madrid, this bank, supported by the political powers, has practically gotten away with this formidable building, which should return to its rightful owners: the city of Burgos.
(Original)
Magnífico edificio del S XV, construido para los Condestables de Castilla ha sido escenario de varios acontecimientos históricos de gran magnitud: aquí los RRCC recibieron a Colón al volver de su 2° viaje, se firmó la anexión del Reino de Navarra al Reino de Castilla y León, etc...
Se puede ver el patio entrando en horario de oficina, o desde el CC de la antigua Caja de Burgos por fuera.
Con el expolio de la antigua Bankia por la Caixa, hoy también en Burgos,.como en otras ciudades de Castilla y Madrid, este banco apoyado por los poderes políticos se ha quedado prácticamente gratis con este formidable edificio que debería volver a sus legítimos dueños: la ciudad de Burgos.
(Translated by Google) Currently the headquarters of a bank. The cloister and the rooms that house temporary exhibitions (currently, until August 2025, there are none) are open free of charge.
(Original)
Actual sede de una entidad bancaria. Se puede visitar de manera gratuita el claustro y las salas que acogen exposiciones temporales (actualmente, agosto 2025, no hay ninguna).
(Translated by Google) A magnificent mansion that owes its name to the carved cordon at the main entrance. This is where the Catholic Monarchs welcomed Christopher Columbus before his second voyage, and it is also the place where Philip the Fair died. It currently houses a bank.
(Original)
Magnífico caserón que debe su nombre al cordón tallado en la entrada principal. Aquí recibieron los Reyes Católicos a Cristóbal Colón antes de su segundo viaje y también es el lugar en el que falleció Felipe el hermoso. Actualmente es la sede de una entidad bancaria.
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful building. You can't miss it if you're in Burgos.

Edificio muy bonito. No se puede dejar de ver, si vas a Burgos
(Translated by Google) Another of the places we visited a few years ago while touring the historic center was this 15th-century palace, the Casa del Cordón or Palace of the Constables. It is the main civil building located in the historic center of the city. We were told that the name Casa del Cordón comes specifically from the two coats of arms above the main door, which are connected by a Franciscan cord, also carved in stone. Currently, it is a cultural center where exhibitions are held; we only visited the central courtyard.
(Original)
Otro de los lugares que visitamos hace unos años recorriendo el centro histórico fue este Palacio del S.XV, la Casa del Cordón o Palacio de los Condestables, es el principal edificio civil que se encuentra en el centro histórico de la ciudad. El nombre de la Casa del Cordón, nos dijeron que viene concretamente por los dos escudos que hay sobre la puerta principal están unidos por medio de un cordón franciscano, también esculpido en la piedra, Actualmente es un cetro cultural donde se realizan exposiciones, por nuestra parte solo visitamos el patio central.
(Translated by Google) We visited an excellent art exhibition. Unfortunately, we were unable to access the courtyard.

Nestled in the heart of Burgos, the Paseo del Espolón is a delightful pedestrian promenade that beckons both locals and visitors alike. Shaded by majestic plane trees, this charming walkway stretches alongside the serene Rio Arlanzon, connecting iconic landmarks such as the Puente de Santa Maria and Puente de San Pablo. Just a stone's throw away from the stunning Burgos Cathedral, it offers an inviting atmosphere filled with cozy cafes and unique shops.
Pleasant promenade among the river. Nicely pruned trees, bushes, and statues make for a pleasant area to stroll around in.

The Cartuja de Miraflores in Burgos is a stunning Gothic palace-turned-monastery that dates back to the 1400s. Once a royal residence, it now stands as one of the most captivating monuments from the late European Gothic era. The monastery houses remarkable tombs of Isabel la Catolica's parents, crafted by Gil de Siloe, and features an ornate gold altarpiece brought from Christopher Columbus' second trip to the Americas.
The Cartuja de by Miraflores is a monastery in Burgos, Spain. The main altar was made between 1496 and 1499, and the detail is amazing! The architecture is breathtaking, and I highly recommend a visit to this very beautiful place.
Mary E — Google review
Miraflores Charterhouse is an Isabelline style charterhouse, or Carthusian monastery of the Order of the Carthusians, built on a hill about three kilometres from the center of the Spanish city of Burgos.
The main altarpiece of the Charterhouse was carved in wood by artist Gil de Siloé. It's s undoubtedly one of the most important existing works of the Spanish Gothic sculpture,
What a mindblowing beauty! This masterpiece monastery is unbelievably well kept!
Worth a detour, you will spend easily 60 to 90’.
Such a refreshing and peaceful trip, I am glad that we didn't skip this place since we were getting delayed for our return. The atmosphere was perfect & more so the beautiful architecture.
The monks made a variety of souvenirs, including watercolor paintings from Korean monks🇰🇷😍👍
Extremely pretty and well maintained. Totally worth seeing. Also had a little exhibition with art belonging to the monastery
It's an interesting place to visit, beautiful art work and building. Worth going if you're nearby but I wouldn't drive a great distance.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castillo de Burgos is a medieval fortress in Burgos, Spain. It was built as a defensive structure in the year 884 by count Diego Porcelos and played an important role in the Reconquista, which was a historical process of Christian Kingdoms seeking to control the Muslim rule. Today, the ruins of the castle stand at 75m above the city and have been inhabited since prehistory.
There isn't much left however it is interesting to read the history and imagine. Looking down the well was so interesting. Excellent views of the city and the cathedral. A nice walkway set up throughout for an organized visit with lots of signage to explain each area. The visit is free!
We drove and there is plenty of parking. For people not on crutches, it is a close walk, with a climb albeit. If you visit the old wall ot is at the top of the stairs. Exiting the Castillo about 100m to the left on the other side of the road is a mirador with perhaps a better view of the cathedral. Definitely worth the visit to understand the history of the city and the region.
Karen D — Google review
Not much to see since it is closed for renovation or reconstruction. Walking around the big walls leave plenty of room for the imagination to wonder how big the castle was back in the day. I hope that the reconstruction can deliver what once stood there.
Here's the text in more readable English:
Beautiful panoramic view of the city. The area has pleasant, fresh air. Highly recommend visiting with family. Please be aware that flying drones is not favored by the local police, so it's best to have a license with you.
Interesting historical ruins initially from 884, in 1736 destroyed by fire and rebuilt but in 1813 destroyed by the defeated French. Some panoramic views and a fascinating well to provide water. I feel more could be done to make the site more enlightening for tourists.
Lots of cool history! I would give it 5 stars but the attendant was a tad too aggressive about the no climbing (my kids were not even climbing anything since we just tackled a climbing up the hill!) We were just standing and waiting on the husband to finish taking a picture of the entrance.
The views are spectacular!
Amazing view in Burgos and Cathedral . The castle is small , but have nice park ,around , family friendly and is very close to Center of city. It takes only 10 min walking to the cathedral.
Perched atop San Miguel Hill is the ruined castle.
its views of the city and the cathedral are wonderful.
good spot to watch the sunset
Well worth the walk up the hill to the viewing platform overlooking Burgos. The castle is free and you can walk around the ramparts. Nice bar to have a cool drink outside.

When visiting Burgos, Spain, make sure to include Mirador Del Castillo in your itinerary. This popular attraction offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its surroundings from the top of Burgos Hill. Located at Castillo de Burgos, a medieval castle with remaining walls dating back to 884 AD, this viewpoint provides an excellent vantage point for planning your exploration of the city. While at the castle, take time to appreciate its historical significance as a defensive structure.
A fascinating view across Burgos rooftops as far as the 2000m Sierras to the south east. Thee a cafeteria and a very helpful diection freeze showing td main point of interest. You can continue thewalk along the foot of the castle to the old city walls to the Moorish Esteban gate and back round to the atart by the Abba Burgos Hotel
Look out for small hlizards and grasshoppers along the way.

Nice view to the city. Its only 8min from the main square (but there is a lot of stairs there). Recommended to visit if you are at Burgos.
Worth a look, but it is a decent climb up. You can also walk around the hilltop fortress. It was closed when I was there, but it has a 62 meter well in there somewhere.
Nice view of the Burgos Cathedral and city, especially at night. Highly recommended.
Worth the walk up to see the spectacular views. There is a cafe and toilets but we didn't visit either.
Great view of Burgos city and its magnificent cathedral. Best of all - it is free! There are many steps to go up (not wheelchair friendly, no lift/escalator) but worth it.
There is a cafe/restaurant in the mirador but it was closed when I was there (Friday, 5:30pm).
Some amazing views of the city, up from the Cathedral to the castle. Sadly the castle was closed due to renovation work.
Beautiful panoramic view point worth to visit

Saint Nicolás of Bari church is a must-see in Burgos, offering visitors a unique experience to learn about the city's emblematic monuments. The church is located near the Castle of Burgos and provides stunning white stone carvings inside, making it stand out from other highly embellished churches in the area. Additionally, visitors can explore the small museum and sacristy at the back of the church as part of their entry fee.
Small church near the Cathedral. Highly recommend.
Entry fee is €2/pax, no discount for pilgrim.
Worth it. Looks simple and unassuming, but stunning white stone carving inside. I find it a refreshing “break from all the Baroque and highly embellished churches seen along the Camino Frances so far. There’s also a small museum & sacristy at the back of the church (inclusive of fee).

The Church is very nice. They ask 2 EUR but nothing is official, they don't give any ticket or receipt. Where does the money go ? Ask for an official ticket !
Lovely church. Don't miss the museum. It has a collection of nativity scene models from across the world, which is quite charming and I think kids would love them.
Very beautiful church and it only costs 2€ to enter. There is also small museum behind the church included in price with some relics.
Free and truly beautiful. It's small but the altar is magnificent.
A must visit to see an important piece of religious artwork behind the altar , plus small museum.
Only 2 euro entrance fee

Very worth visiting museum showing local Burgos history, from roman times, middle age to recent modern ones across different levels.
El cid sword "Tizona" is on display. Very worth the visit, very quiet and tidy place.
A bit old fashioned but amazing museum with great collection in a beautiful building. I only missed the English text, but still enjoyable (I used Google translate). Spent there around 1.5 hrs, a bargain for a euro!
Interesting museum, but needs an update. There is no restaurant to sit or shop to buy a card. I was happy to rest on one of the chairs. Also everything is in Spanish, no english used. In these ways its oldfashioned.
What was good: it was free on sunday, the paintingcollection is nice, the building is beautiful.
Fantastic museum with a vast array and eclectic collection spanning thousands of years of local history. Wonderful....
Nice Museum, the concept is very good and we can see evolution of way of life in this area.
A very interesting museum, it has 5 floors of various art etc
The building may be the best thing about this museum. There's a bunch of mildly interesting stuff and what might be El Cid's sword. Only costs a euro to get in so worth a quick visit.

(Translated by Google) Gothic church dedicated to Saint Lesmes.
It houses the saint's tomb, in the center of the main nave, in an unusual pose. Holding an open book, the saint looks to his right, as if addressing the person standing there.
Also noteworthy, next to the Baroque high altar, is a beautiful Gothic altarpiece and some praying figures on one side.
(Original)
Iglesia gótica dedicada a San Lesmes.
Alberga el sepulcro del santo, en el centro de la nave principal, en una pose poco común. Sujetando un libro abierto, el santo dirige su mirada hacia su derecha, como si interpelase a la persona que se encuentre en ese lugar.
También destacan, junto al altar mayor barroco, un retablo gótico precioso y algunas figuras orantes en uno de sus laterales

Nestled in the heart of Burgos, the Casa de Miranda stands as a stunning example of Renaissance architecture. Constructed in 1545, this elegant palace was originally designed to be the residence of Francisco de Miranda Salon y Espana, a prominent figure associated with the cathedral. The building is attributed to architect Juan de Vallejo and showcases intricate design elements that reflect its historical significance.
(Translated by Google) La Casa de Miranda (1545), on Calera de Burgos street, next to the bus station. Renaissance palace, probable work of the Burgos architect Juan de Vallejo (1500-69) for the Abbot of Salas, canon of the Cathedral of Burgos and apostolic pronotary in Rome, Don Francisco de Miranda Salón. Property of the Miranda lineage until the 17th century. XVIII, when it was transformed into a tenement house, remaining so until 1942, when the renovations began to use it as the Museum of Burgos (1955). Three-story building around a central patio - rectangular plan of two heights with 18 columns with a tripartite shaft and a shoe capital -, with stone and exposed brick facades (in the Burgos style), on two streets: the main one on Calera Street and the other on Miranda Street - set back in 1934 -. Italian Renaissance work with late Gothic reminiscences - the cubes with pinnacles in the corners or the gargoyles on the eaves. Later, a wing was added attached to the main façade (Calera, 27) - a rectangular floor plan with a two-story loggia that overlooks a garden.

Edificio de tres plantas en torno a un patio central -planta rectangular de dos alturas con 18 columnas de fuste tripartito y capitel zapata-, con fachadas de piedra y ladrillo visto (al modo burgalés), a dos calles: la principal a la calle Calera y la otra a la calle Miranda -retranqueada en 1934-. Obra renacentista italianizante con reminiscencias tardogóticas -los cubos con pináculos de las esquinas o las gárgolas en los aleros-.

San Esteban in Burgos offers a variety of attractions, including the Cathedral, Huelgas Monastery, Miraflores Carthusian Monastery, Evolution Museum, and Retablo Museums. The old city and ruins are also worth exploring. Nearby localities like Atapuerca and Castrojeriz are worth a visit if you have extra time. When it comes to dining, traditional restaurants like Meson La Cueva offer authentic Castilian cuisine.
A wonderful place for anyone who loves history and Christianity. I was here a few days before Christmas and it was a unique and unforgettable experience. If there is a chance, I would love to return.

This former church, now transformed into a museum of altarpieces from the Diocese of Burgos, is a hidden gem. The building itself is magnificent, and the collection includes remarkable altarpieces from various towns across the region, representing different artistic periods. In addition to the altarpieces, the museum also features small statues and a collection of religious goldsmithing. Definitely worth a visit!
This seems to no longer be a working church, but is instead used as a makeshift museum for religious artefacts rescued from around the Burgos province. There is an information video about the restoration work carried out on the pieces brought and housed here, after their previous buildings had fallen into disrepair. Again it is one of the four churches you can currently visit (Burgos cathedral included) for 8 euros.
This church now houses a museum that is dedicated to preserving and restoring religious items from the churches and monasteries in the region. They explain how the pieces of art were created and how they restore them. Interesting if you have the time.
A must-see! Get the pass to see all 4 sites (San Esteban + 3), it is only €1 more and everything is walking distance to each other
Wonderful. There's a little museum inside.
Beautiful church just next to the main cathedral.

We had a very relaxing time here after a city walking and there was too strong sun outside. Children can play, draw, and read a book here. Of course, also, some exhibitions. And the staff are very kind and friendly.
My fist time visiting and all I can say is wow what a beautiful place with fabulous architecture and amazing cathedral. A must visit if your in the area.
A wonderful centre of contemporary art located right next to the San Gil church. The building offers spectacular views of the Cathedral from its terrace, making it worth a visit for the scenery alone. Inside, you will find interesting exhibitions. I particularly enjoyed the exhibition by Noemí Iglesias Barrios.
Amazing modern art center. Three floors with spacious exhibitions. Free entry. Elevator access. Hospitable staff. Information on walls about artists and their work is in Spanish but a QR-code will get you to the English info on the website of the art center. Lovely terrace with views over Burgos and the cathedral.
Fantastic building and views. Staff is friendly. We were not very lucky with the quality of the temporary exposition
Very good contemporary art museum in the heart of the old town. Good exhibition, great library to consult art books and fantastic views! I definitely recommend it!
A nice little museum, well worth a visit. They also had a little library and a nice terrace.

(Translated by Google) It is a very well preserved Gothic style monastery.
The only drawback I have are the comments from people who do not understand that selling pasta and similar products does not give them the status of a regular store. It is a place of prayer. The rest is secondary. Therefore paying by card and finding the store closed is not important.

Es un monasterio de estilo gótico muy bien conservado.
La única pega que pongo son los comentarios de la gente que no entienden que el hecho de vender pastas y similares no les confiere el status de tienda al uso. Es un lugar de oración. Lo demás es secundario. Por lo tanto el pago con tarjeta y el hecho de encontrar la tienda cerrada no es importante.

One can only browse the lobby, but that's ok. History runs through the building. Here is where the Catholic Kings met with Cristian Colón. The pillars and the walls resemble the historical nature of the building. Make sure to check the opening hours, since it closes in early afternoon (around 2pm). You can take pictures in the internal lobby only, and the upper two floors are not open to the public. Still highly recommend to stop by while visiting Burgos.

The hermitage, located at the west exit of the city, is part of the Camino de Santiago as is the hospital.

Está construida en estilo barroco y en ella destacan su retablo del altar mayor, de estilo neogótico de 1907, y su pequeño cementerio del siglo XVIII."

Catholic church
Nestled in the heart of Burgos, Spain, the Iglesia de Santiago y Santa Águeda is a captivating church steeped in rich history and legend. This remarkable site is famously linked to El Cid, where he compelled King Alfonso VI to take an oath regarding his brother Sancho's death during a tense moment in Spanish history. The church features a stunning Neo-Gothic alabaster altarpiece that adds to its charm.
(Translated by Google) A very pleasant surprise to be able to visit this place, whose history is well known but its location on the city map sometimes does not invite you to get there. The exterior structure of the temple gives way to an interior rich in art, history and devotion of the parishioners. The Santa Gadea oath is an invitation for you to come and visit the place.
(Original)
Una sorpresa muy agradable poder visitar este lugar, cuya historia es muy conocida pero su ubicación en el plano de la ciudad a veces no te invita a llegar hasta allí. La estructura exterior del templo deja paso a un interior rico en arte, historia y devoción de los feligreses. La jura de Santa Gadea es una invitación para que te acerques a visitar el lugar.

(Translated by Google) A church full of history and relevance.
The altar is made of white alabaster stone in a neo-Gothic style.
This church is well known because the famous oath took place there that forced King Alfonso VI to swear before the Cid that he had not taken part in the death of King Sancho.
This led to the exile of the Cid Campeador to Valencia.
Also inside is the image of the Virgin of Our Lady of Soledad, highly venerated in Burgos.
(Original)
Una iglesia llena de historia y relevancia.
El altar es de piedra de alabastro blanca de estilo neogótico.
Está iglesia es muy conocida porque allí tuvo lugar el famoso juramento que obligó al rey Alfonso VI jurar ante el Cid el que esté no había tomado parte de la muerte del rey Sancho.
Esto supuso el destierro del Cid Campeador a Valencia.
También en su interior está la imagen de la Virgen de nuestra señora de la Soledad, muy venerada en Burgos.
(Translated by Google) Well preserved.

(Translated by Google) Church in which supposedly and according to tradition, the swearing-in took place to the king of Leon and new king of Castile, Alfonso VI, at the request of Rodrigo Díaz, El Cid, to demonstrate and swear in this way that he had nothing to do with the death, supposedly by deceit and treason, of his older brother Sancho II, king of Castile, during the siege of Zamora.
This oath is known as The Oath of Santa Gadea.
Alfonso VI was the fourth of five brothers, but the second male in succession.
Urraca was born first, then Sancho II (King of Castile), Infanta Elvira, Alfonso VI (King of León) and finally García II (King of Galicia), who died locked in a tower of the Castle of Luna, taken prisoner by his brother Alfonso VI, thus taking over the Kingdom of Galicia at that time.
What a gem this Alfonso VI!!!
(Original)
Iglesia en la que supuestamente y según cuenta la tradición, tuvo lugar la jura al rey de Leon y nuevo rey de Castilla, Alfonso VI, por petición de Rodrigo Díaz, El Cid, para demostrar y jurar de este modo, que nada había tenido que ver con la muerte, supuestamente con engaño y a traición, de su hermano mayor Sancho II rey de Castilla, durante el asedio a Zamora.
Dicha jura se conoce como La Jura de Santa Gadea.
Alfonso VI era el cuarto de cinco hermanos, pero el segundo varón en sucesión.
En primer lugar nació Urraca, después Sancho II (Rey de Castilla), la Infanta Elvira, Alfonso VI (Rey de León) y por último García II (rey de Galicia), el cual murió encerrado en una torre del Castillo de Luna, hecho prisionero por su hermano Alfonso VI, apoderándose de este modo del también y por entonces Reino de Galicia.

Nestled in the charming city of Burgos, Spain, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced stands as a stunning example of late Gothic architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries. This remarkable church was constructed between 1498 and 1515 under the guidance of renowned architects Simon de Colonia and Diego de Siloe. Originally built for the Mercedarian order, it has since transitioned to serve as a parish for Jesuit fathers.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful building, which keeps a true architectural treasure inside. The vaults, the altar, the organ…sublime. FREE entry

(Translated by Google) It was built between 1498 and 1515. Of the old convent, the Renaissance cloister remains, the work of Juan de Vallejo, and the Gothic style church, built by Simón de Colonia and Diego de Siloe. The old convent is today a hotel and where its beautiful Renaissance cloister is preserved. It suffered the consequences of the confiscation and the building was acquired by the Jesuits in 1880, who run it today.
It was completely restored in 2002 after suffering a fire, opening again to worship in 2003. Its main altarpiece and its organ were lost in the fire.

Sufrió las consecuencias de la desamortización y fue adquirido el edificio por los Jesuitas en el año 1880 que lo regentan a día de hoy.
Fue totalmente restaurada en el año 2002 tras sufrir un incendio, abriéndose de nuevo al culto en el año 2003. En el fuego se perdió su retablo mayor y su órgano.

Currently, the temple functions as a Jesuit parish, while the old convent premises, which were occupied by Mercedarians for more than three centuries, have been converted into a hospitality space. A place with history and charm.

La iglesia y convento de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, en Burgos, es un bello ejemplo del estilo tardogótico de los siglos XV y XVI. Actualmente, el templo funciona como parroquia jesuita, mientras que las antiguas dependencias del convento, que estuvieron ocupadas por mercedarios durante más de tres siglos, se han reconvertido en un espacio de hostelería. Un lugar con historia y encanto.

Pequeña iglesia cuyo claustro forma parte del actual hotel adyacente (antiguo monasterio). El acceso es gratuito. Nos sorprendió la austeridad de su interior y que no hubiera capillas laterales. Lo más destacable es el retablo del altar y el órgano.
(Translated by Google) They do not allow communion in the mouth, the Jesuit priest told me that he had not done it for many years, so he denied me communion. After a conversation with him in the sacristy, he made his Protestant ideas clear to me openly and openly; In addition to accusing me of being old-fashioned and that damn it is just a symbol. It's a shame that the Church is being destroyed by these bad priests and we parishioners remain impassive, allowing them to modify the doctrine of our Lord.
(Original)
No permiten comulgar en la boca, el sacerdote Jesuita me dijo que el hacia muchos años que no lo hace, por lo que me negó la comunión. Después de una conversación con él en la sacristía me dejó claro sus ideas protestantes abiertamente y sin tapujos; ademas de acusarme de estar anticuada y que las hostia es solo un símbolo. Un pena que la Iglesia se esté destruyendo por estos malos curas y los feligreses nos quedemos impasibles, dejando que modifiquen la doctrina de nuestro Señor.

(Translated by Google) Church and Convent of Our Lady of Mercy (1498). Late Gothic building from the 16th century. XV-XVI built according to a project by the Colonia family of architects, by the hands of Simón (1450-1511) or Francisco (1470-1542) for the Mercedarian parents under the patronage of the couple of Burgos merchants Francisco del Castillo and Leonor de Pesquera . Masters Domingo and Pedro Villarreal participated in the work. With the confiscation of Mendizábal (1836), the Mercedarians were forced to abandon it, selling it to the army, plundering all its wealth (furniture, imagery, altarpieces, books...). In 1891, the church was reopened to the public run by the Society of Jesus, which continues today. In 2001, a serious fire broke out that caused irreparable damage (destruction of the neo-Gothic main altarpiece from 1905, organ, stained glass windows, collapse of the apse dome...). Rehabilitated in 2003. The cloister from the mid-19th century. XVI, the work of the Burgos architect Juan de Vallejo (1500-69), is restored and integrated into the NH 'Palacio de la Merced' hotel.

(Translated by Google) Church of Our Lady of Mercy. If Burgos has one thing going for it, like every city in Spain, it's that there was no shortage of corners where a church could be built to strengthen Catholicism in its time. Beyond the Catholic theme, it's worth visiting them to discern their architectural similarities to the past and their style.
(Original)
Iglesia nuestra Señora de La Merced. Si algo tiene Burgos, como toda ciudad de España es que no faltó una esquina donde construir una iglesia para afianzar el catolicismo en su época. Más allá del plano católico es propio visitarles para distinguir en ellos como obra arquitectónica similitudes del pasado y su estilo.

Catholic church
Nestled in the heart of Burgos, Castile and Leon, the Iglesia del Carmen is a captivating Catholic parish church that showcases modern architecture. Constructed between 1966 and 1968, it stands proudly at the intersection of Paseo del Empecinado and Calle del Carmen, replacing an earlier Baroque structure. This serene sanctuary is part of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers' convent and offers a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and reflection.
(Translated by Google) It is always nice to visit a church of Carmelite fathers. The times of mass, opening and confessions are well informed. It is a silent place where you can pray peacefully and meet Jesus in the Tabernacle.

Siempre es bonito visitar una iglesia de padres Carmelitas. Están bien informados los horarios de misa, apertura y confesiones. Es un lugar silencioso donde se puede orar con paz y encontrarse con Jesús en el Sagrario.
Mónica C — Google review
(Translated by Google) It's regrettable that the 300-year-old Baroque church was demolished in 1960 to build this thing. The Carmelites who owned the church were criminals, and the Francoist mayors of Burgos in 1960 who allowed it were criminals. Such an act of architectural terrorism must have shocked the baby Jesus. Please, to make amends for your tremendous sin, take the demolition machinery and leave not a single piece of rubble. Then, rebuild the original.
(Original)
Lamentable haber demolido en 1960 la iglesia barroca de 300 años de antigüedad para construir esa cosa. Criminales los carmelitas dueños de la iglesia y criminales los alcaldes franquistas del Burgos de 1960 que lo permitieron. Semejante acto de terrorismo arquitectónico debió sobrecoger al niño Jesús. Por favor, para reparar su tremendo pecado, cojan la maquinaria de demolición y no dejen ni un escombro. Acto seguido, reconstruyan la original.
(Translated by Google) Very spacious and modern Catholic church where you can do meditation very well. The Carmelite congregation is in charge of the church. Many mass schedules and many priests to confess.

(Translated by Google) The church itself is quite large in capacity with steps at the top where the choir is placed.
It has a huge Christ presiding over the altar, which was really what caught my attention and liked it the most. Because the building itself, for my taste, has a sad and gloomy aesthetic.

The Palacio de la Isla, situated in Burgos, Spain, was constructed in 1883 by Juan Muguiro y Casi. This romantic-style palace with neo-Gothic influences became an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1942. The palace houses the Centro de Conocimiento Origenes del Espanol, which contains over 25,000 cards documenting Latin inscriptions from the Roman Age on the Iberian Peninsula.
Highly recommend! Free and the guy at the front was so nice to show me around. There was a poet exhibit from the 50s. I love how accessible this is to the public, and full of history.

We were just wandering and came across this place. It's pretty cool just to walk through for 30 minutes. It was originally a Summer home but used by Franco for a time. Now it houses material regarding the origin and study of Spanish/Espanol. Books as old as 900 on display. Staff is cool too.
(Translated by Google) A building with a unique and carefully curated architecture that gives it a stately and elegant appearance.
Although its current uses are very different from those of the not-so-distant past, it's a shame that it doesn't even have a sad sign indicating that during the Civil War it was the residence of General Francisco Franco and that an extremely momentous event took place there, such as the preparation of the final war report of April 1, 1939.
(Original)
Un edificio con una arquitectura singular y muy cuidado que da aspecto señorial y de cierta elegancia.
Aunque los fines para los que se usan hoy en día son muy distintos de los que tuvieron lugar en un pasado no muy lejano, es una pena que no tenga ni un triste cartel indicativo de que durante la Guerra Civil fue residencia del general Francisco Franco y que ahí tuvo lugar un hecho sumamente trascendental como fue la elaboración del último parte de guerra del Primero de abril de 1939.
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended, we saw it on White Night, for which you have to pick up tickets in advance. We really enjoyed the visit. The guide explained its history from its construction and its belonging to the family, like when Franco used it during the war. Very interesting.

(Translated by Google) The Palacio de la Isla is one of those places in Burgos that surprises and captivates in equal measure. Many are unaware of the great historical importance of this building, a witness to key moments in Spain's contemporary history, which today still retains all its stately charm surrounded by a privileged natural setting.
But if anything deserves to be highlighted above its beauty and historical value, it is the friendliness and helpfulness of its staff. From the moment you arrive, the treatment is warm, attentive, and professional; always willing to help and make the visit or stay as pleasant as possible.
A place that combines history, elegance, and human warmth. Without a doubt, a Burgos gem that deserves to be better known and visited.

El Palacio de la Isla es uno de esos lugares de Burgos que sorprenden y enamoran a partes iguales. Muchos desconocen la gran importancia histórica de este edificio, testigo de momentos clave en la historia contemporánea de España, y que hoy sigue conservando todo su encanto señorial rodeado de un entorno natural privilegiado.
Pero si algo merece ser destacado por encima de su belleza y valor histórico, es la amabilidad y disposición de su personal. Desde la llegada, el trato es cercano, atento y profesional; siempre dispuestos a ayudar y a hacer que la visita o estancia sea lo más agradable posible.
Un lugar que combina historia, elegancia y calidez humana. Sin duda, una joya burgalesa que merece ser más conocida y visitada.
(Translated by Google) A huge disappointment. Absolutely nothing remains of the history of those who lived there (Franco included). Nor does anything remain of the years when she was Commissioner. There are only modern classrooms and offices, as it is the headquarters of the Institute of Castilian and Leonese Language.
