Things to see and do Province Of Burgos

Founded in the th century by the Velasco in order to establish the family pantheon, this monastic ensemble consists of a church, a cloister, a chapter hall and other dependencies which welcome a hospedería (hostel). The most remarkable part is that of the Gothic church, with its nave adorned with ogives voûtes, its choir and chapels on the lower sides, in particular the Concepción Chapel (th century). The tomb in Alabaster d'Aro Fernández de Velasco and his wife María de Tovar is in Renaissance style.

The Tourist Office is located on the ground floor of the city hall.

A symbol of the power of the Velasco line, this imposing Gothic fortress was built at the end of the xivth century, between 1370 and 1380, and classified as a National Monument in 1931. Composed of two square towers, crowned with niches and connected by a central building, Alcázar has a austere and robust look. The interior retains elements of the original decoration, of mutiny inspiration. The Alcázar houses the historical museum of the Merindades, which traces the history of the region.

The Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos, Spain, is a must-see for archaeology and history enthusiasts. The museum also offers impressive views of the building's architecture and the ecosystems of the Atapuerca sierra. Admission is free for children under 8, the unemployed, ICOM members, teachers, Castile-Leon tourist guides, friends of the MEH, holders of the Castile-Leon youth card and the disabled.
