Burgos is a small town in Castile (in the north of Spain), who used to be its capital, but later turned into one of the cozy towns of Spain. About two hundred thousand residents live in Burgos, and he was founded in the 9th century. Thus, in this city you can see some monuments of antiquities, although I will note that there are not so many of them there.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, it is quite possible to allocate a day on Burgos - to inspect some attractions (I will tell about them below) and just take a walk on the old streets.
Cathedral
The Cathedral of Burgos is the Cathedral of Our Lady. Its construction began in the 13th century, it was assumed that it would be the most important temple in the Kingdom of Castile. The construction of the cathedral was completed only in the 16th century. The cathedral is built in the style of Gothic, and in the 20th century he was declared a world heritage monument. LED Kameador was buried in it (one of the national heroes of Spain, brave knight and the hero of many legends) and his wife. Also in the Cathedral of Burgos, there is a sword, which presumably belonged to Sid.
Visit the Cathedral will be wondering as believing people and those who attract an old architecture - his building is truly great and majestically, so I would recommend to visit the cathedral to every tourist who will be in Burgos.

Burgos Castle
Another attraction, which is of interest to tourists is an old fortress. It is built on a hill, which rises above the city in another 9th century. They built it to protect the city, but then she stopped being a fortress and became a prison. Even later, the castle was turned into a palace. During the war in the 20th century, the castle was destroyed, but then restored and open to attend everyone. In addition to the castle itself, those who wish can visit and underground tunnels.
