Burgos is a city in northern Spain and the capital of Burgos province. In 2007, the population was 174075.

During the Spanish Civil War, it was the base of Franco. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century, it was an important commercial center of the Kingdom of Castilla and a distribution center of wool trade. The surrounding agriculture is developed, including metallurgy, wine making, shoemaking, wool spinning, chemistry, paper making and other industries.

Burgos Cathedral is the third most important church in Spain after Seville and Toledo. In 1221, King Fernando III of Castilla began to build a church to highlight the aura of the capital of the kingdom, which took more than 300 years to complete. The church is generally French Gothic, with Notre Dame in Paris and Reims Cathedral as templates in many places. At the beginning of the construction, Spanish Christians invited Arab Moors who were proficient in engineering and geometry to help them build this church. Therefore, many flame coupons and geometric patterns of Arab architecture can be seen inside and outside the church. As it was built for hundreds of years, the architectural decoration was also integrated with the later Renaissance and Baroque styles, which made it unique. Another attraction of Burgos Church is the two starry domes where the Sid stone tablets and the Sid couple's sarcophagus are placed.

Founded in 1748, the Cathedral of Santiago is located at the end of the pilgrimage road in Santiago and is the symbol of Santiago. The church has a unique school belonging to the Baroque architectural style. The arched openings and decorative columns on the facade of the church are superb, using a unique form of vertical composition. There are three arcade shaped corridors in the church, all of which are more than 90 meters long, very gorgeous. It is said that Chilean archbishops of all dynasties were buried here, so it became a holy place for pilgrims.

The monastery of La Siu Ergas is considered to be the only monastery that was once the most outstanding in Spain. This monastery, located in the southwest of Burgess, was built in the 12th century under the auspices of Queen Eleanor. Later, it became a royal mausoleum, where many kings and queens, such as Queen Eleanor and King Alfonso, slept for ever. Here are also the gilded altar of the Renaissance and a Castellas Museum. The museum is located in a Roman cloister, where many royal articles and costumes are collected.
