Cabildo Metropolitano de Burgos

The historic and picturesque Cabildo Metropolitano de Burgos and the Plaza Santa María, located in the old quarter of the centre of Burgos, Spain is an irresistible combination for photographers and travelers. The Cabildo and Plaza Santa Maria, built in the late 13th century and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stand in contrast to the modern, bustling centre that encircles the area. The Plaza and square, located at the heart of Burgos' old quarter, is the perfect place to take a stroll and admire the Moorish-influenced facade of the Cabildo and the magnificently preserved Gothic façade of the Cathedral of Burgos, which stands adjacent to the Plaza. Further down the cobbled alleyways, visitors can discover the picturesque Sinagoga de Santa Maria, a hidden gem of the city dating back to the middle ages. No wander around of the old quarter would be complete without visiting the magnificent Casa del Cordon, a romantic and secluded court built in the 15th century.
