you approach this over an attractive bridge; very picturesque; has small museum on upper level; classic view has cathedral behind it - whole thing even more attractive when all floodlit at night
Very nice arcos near the Plaza Mayor. The arcos of the 14th century was renovated in the 16th century because of the visit of Charles V.

Beautiful gate showing the power and history of Burgos. Like the musicians playing under the gate. Bridge leading up to gate gives the gate status.
Very nice to get through and admire. There are a few fresco paintings on the arch.It's a way to get to the Plaza Mayor.
This superb great gate which leads into the Plaza in front of the equally wonderful Cathedral is part of the original 14th century city wall .
La mas relevante de las antiguas puertas en la muralla que rodeaba la ciudad, situada al final del puente de su mismo nombre, sobre el río Arlanzón. Está construida en piedra caliza que le confiere su coloración y al atravesarla se accede a la plaza donde se sitúa la inigualable Catedral. La construcción asemeja los antiguos arcos triunfales romanos, con hornacinas donde se sitúan esculturas de personajes históricos, todo culminado por almenas t torres
Burgos is a lovely small city with a medieval core well preserved and still active. There just before Christmas, we found the old plaza behind the old gate filled with people and activities ranging from the pious to the mercantile and slightly bizarre - a great continuum of how life must always have been there. The Cathedral is beautiful and the small museum built into the space above the arch also fascinating.
At the crossing of Puente de Santa Maria stands this large, ornate gateway. This is situated in the old city quarter of Burgos. Built to commemorate the noble citizens of the city, it has their statues above the archway.
Approached from the Santa Maria bridge over the River Arlanzon, the 16th C Arch, which has been restored, leads into the historical part of Burgos. The arch is decorated with statues of distinguished figures and certain rooms in the arch are open to the public.
