The Church of San Nicolás de Bari in Burgos is a gem of Castilian Gothic architecture, located right on the Camino de Santiago, next to the Cathedral. It was built in 1408 on the site of an earlier Romanesque church.

It all began in 1080, when Alfonso VI, King of the old Kingdom of Castile, promoted the construction of a Romanesque-style cathedral in the city of Burgos: the Church of Santa María de Burgos. In 1219, a very important ceremony for the Kingdom of Castile took place in this church: the wedding of the then King of Castile, Ferdinand III, with the Germanic princess Beatrice of Swabia.

The Castilian-Leonese city of Burgos, located on the Camino de Santiago, preserves important vestiges of its medieval splendor. What was the capital of the unified kingdom of Castile and León for five centuries, boasts one of the crowning works of Spanish Gothic, its Cathedral, declared a World Heritage Site. In addition to getting closer to the historic center of Burgos, we can get to know its province through interesting routes along the banks of the Duero and Arlanza rivers.

Why is it worth a detour here? Not at all, it should be the main highlight of the day. It's not about churches or faith. But about what man was capable of building and designing. Art (wood carving, glass art and skills in shaping iron. We are thrilled. There is a great app available at the checkout and WiFi is also free, just ask at the checkout.

On the 13th stage of the Camino Frances (counting according to Rother), Burgos is one of the highlights on the Way of St. James. The cathedral is hugely imposing and a wonderful testament to the faith of its builders.

Burgos Cathedral is a true work of art. In fact, it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. The monument follows Gothic patterns but inside the decoration also introduces Renaissance and Baroque elements. It really is something spectacular. It is full of surprising details and it is a luxury to enjoy from inside the game of colors coming from the light that filters through the rose windows and stained glass windows. You can check the visiting hours on their website. And they also put on nightly light shows inside!

Burgos Cathedral is the most representative monument of the city. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. It is the only Spanish cathedral that has this distinction independently. Without a doubt, it is one of the jewels of universal Gothic art.
