About

In the vibrant city of Burgos lies San Gil Abad, a marvel of Spanish Gothic architecture. Once part of the medieval defensive walls, its exterior presents an austere facade, hiding a breathtakingly rich interior. Enter to discover chapels adorned with intricate plateresque altarpieces and a Gothic high altar, capped off with a striking baroque canopy. The fan vaulting above adds a touch of grandeur to the space. The rooms harbor ecclesiastical treasures and an awe-inspiring floor-to-ceiling retablo, densely populated with carved figures that captivate the eye. Rated highly by visitors and accessible to all, this church is part of the Burgos Cathedral 4 monuments ticket. It promises a fulfilling experience at a low cost, making it an essential stop when exploring the city's architectural gems.

Una joya escondida, pero justamente promocionada. Una visita necesaria junto a la Catedral.
