This very special tour of Burgos will provide visitors with an idea of the splendour this city has enjoyed over the centuries. Religious, noble and trading institutions have all left behind traces of their wealth and power in the form of magnificent temples, palaces and large mansions that can still be seen in the city today.
This delightful walk reveals the full range of architectural styles that can be admired in Burgos, from the Gothic Constables Chapel to the Baroque dome that tops the Church of San Lorenzo, or the magnificent Renaissance façades of the buildings leading up to San Nicolás, or the houses that line the historic Calle Real.
This route includes the following sites of interest: Cordón House, the Church of San Lorenzo, the military government headquarters, the Church of San Gil Abad, the Cube House, Burgos Cathedral, Castilfalé or Maluenda Palace and the Church of San Nicolás de Bari.
