The construction of a cathedral at Burgos was ordered by King Ferdinand III of Castile and Mauricio, the English-born Bishop of Burgos. Construction started on the site of the former Romanesque cathedral on July 20, 1221. Work began at the chevet (east end), which was completed in nine years. The high altar was consecrated in 1260, then there was a lengthy hiatus of almost 200 years before construction started up again. The cathedral was finally completed in 1567, with the addition of the lantern spire over the main crossing (which rises above a delicate openwork star vault). The architects principally responsible for its construction were a Frenchman named Enrique (who also worked on Leon Cathedral) in the 13th century and a German named John of Cologne (Juan de Colonia) in the 15th century. The latter was discovered and hired by the bishop of Burgos while attending the Council of Constance in 1417.
Rosalia is the best ! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral and her demeanor is perfect for a tour. she adjusted the things that you’re interested in and does a great job of leading you through the cathedral. highly recommend!
Rosalia provided me with an enthusiastic and highly informative tour about the cathedral and Burgos. I learned so much. It was interesting to learn the connection between the Camino de Santiago and Burgos. Anyone walking the Camino should take a day to see Burgos and learn about the cathedral from Rosalia. Rosalia is friendly, knowledgeable and is a great communicator.
One THE beat tours! Guide is amazingly knowledgeable, very passionate and very friendly. Will not go back without hiring again.
The best tour guide ever! Rosalie was very informed and enthusiastic. Thank you!
This was our 2nd time touring Burgos Cathedral with a group of friends with Rosalia -- she's fabulous! She brings history alive with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Thank you, Rosalia!!
Rosalía is the best guide we have ever enjoyed. She could transform a boring visit to a Cathedral into an interesting and amusing experience. Her secret is the passion she gives to her work. 100 % recommended both, the visit and Rosalia as its guide.
The tour takes about one hour and a half. Before entering the cathedral I will give you an introduction about the history of this amazing monument and after passing through its most ancient door we will focus on the most beautiful chapels and we will enjoy the richness of this amazing building.
