Burgos Cathedral, Spain

The city of Burgos is the capital of Burgos province in northern Spain. Burgos cathedral has been founded in 1221 by Ferdinand III of Castile and the English bishop Maurice of Burgos. Construction of the cathedral, in Gothic style, began on the remains of a former Romanesque cathedral, and continued until 1765. The entire history of Gothic art is summed up in its superb architecture and its unique collection of works of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs and stained-glass windows.
Burgos Cathedral is located along the pilgrimroute to Santiago de Compostela. Officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, this site is to be safeguarded for the future as a testimony to its enduring past.
