"Oldest gothic church of Spain"
@timbik20014
"Fue el primer edificio religioso de la Península de estilo gótico. Se trata del punto neurálgico de la ciudad, y uno de los lugares más visitados de esta ciudad que tiene mucho que ofrecer al turista, tanto en su vertiente cultural, como también en la natural y por supuesto, en cuanto al tema gastronómico. Se empezó a construir sobre el mismo lugar en el que ya había una catedral románica, en el año 1221 por orden de Fernando II, apodado El Santo y el motivo fue que la ciudad era en aquel tiempo la capital del Reino Castellano Leonés, y necesitaban tener una construcción religiosa de estas características."

"UNESCO World Heritage Northern Spain's Burgos Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Laid out to a Latin cross plan, the church is famous for its stained glass windows, artworks, choir stalls, chapels, tombs, statuary, and the fine tracery of its open stonework. It draws its inspiration from churches constructed in northern France during the thirteenth century and is a fine example of how the Spanish adapted the French Gothic style as their own. The dissemination of French Gothic architecture and art was also aided by the fact that Burgos and its cathedral have been a stopping point since medieval times for Christian pilgrims en route from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. Work began on the church in 1221 with the Bishop of Burgos, Mauricio, at the helm. The bishop had studied in Paris, and it was he who brought in a French master builder to manage the project. A hiatus of 200 years followed before further embellishments were made to the cathedral, including those of German architect Juan de Colonia, who added spires of open stonework tracery to its two frontal towers. The cathedral was completed in 1567, although the Renaissance saw some additions such as the golden staircase known as the Escalera Dorada. The cathedral is not only notable for its flamboyant architecture, but also houses the remains of members of the Spanish royal house of Castile. But it is most widely known as the burial place of one of Burgos's most eminent sons, the eleventh-century soldier and military leader Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, and his wife, Dona Jimena. The couple's remains were interred in the center of the cathedral in 1919. El Cid was a hero of the Spanish reconquista of Spain and conquered Valencia in 1094 to regain Spanish control of the city. El Cid went on to govern the city and surrounding region until his death."

"Structures intérieure et extérieure qui change, super intéressant Restaurée en 2007 les couleurs et les murs extrêmement baroque des chapelles et du cœur sont impressionnantes. ♥️ chapelle santa tecla. Possibilité d’avoir un audio guide en français/ anglais / espagnol en scannant les QR code, par contre ça prend du temps. Aussi musée et palais évêché Très intéressant et beau Jolis vitraux intérieurs dans cloître à étage Peintures rouge et noir (?!) sur plafond "

"De planning was Royan, maar t regende. Dus gingen onderweg naar Portugal. Tijdens het bekijken vd route, zagen we dat we langs Burgos kwamen. Deze plaats werd benoemd door n camperaar op ons veldje in Wassenaar. Dus besloten we richting Burgos te rijden en de reis naar Portugal n dag uit te stellen. We kwamen op 19.30 aan op n prima camper plaats midden in n woonwijk. We zijn gelijk op de fiets gestapt en zaten binnen 10 minuten midden in Burgos. Wat n mooie, oude stad. Rondom n enorme kathedraal santé Maria. We hebben rondgelopen, de stad bewonderd en zijn op n terras beland voor wijn/bier en tapas. Heerlijk!"
