About Burgos Cathedral
Burgos Cathedral, also known by the name Cathedral of Saint Mary of Burgos (Catedral de Burgos in Spanish), is a Catholic church bearing a dedication to the Virgin Mary in the historical center of Burgos, Spain. Building began in 1221 in the French Gothic style, on a Latin cross plan. The first stone was laid on June 20, 1221, with Bishop Maurice of Burgos and King Ferdinand III present. The cathedral was consecrated in 1260.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, following a pause of almost 200 years, the cathedral was embellished with the Chapel of the Constable, the dome of the transept and the spires of the main facade. These flamboyant Gothic elements give it an unmistakable profile. Juan de Colonia added the spires, which show Germanic influence, in the 15th century. The facade rises in three stories and ends in two square bell towers at its sides, and its design relates to the French Gothic cathedrals of Paris and Reims.
The last important works, the Sacristy and the Chapel of Saint Thecla, date from the 18th century. Builders used limestone quarried in Hontoria de la Cantera, a nearby town, for the construction and renovations. The style is Gothic, with several decorative Renaissance and Baroque elements. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site on October 31, 1984, and it is the only Spanish cathedral listed on its own, not as part of a historic city center or together with other buildings.
