Es la plaza donde esta la estatua del cid campeador , le homenajean , vale la pena visitarla despues de callejear por la ciudad.
É uma praça movimentada cruzando avenidas, moderna no centro de Burgos, mal se consegue tirar fotos e só ficou famosa por causa do herói espanhol.
The beautiful statue from El Cid is near the bridge where several statues from important Spanish heroes are displayed. It has a beautiful view from the river, very intimate and near the cathedral. It was a pleasure to visit the whole area.
We simply had to find this and take some photos. They came out beautifully. Don't miss this. It only takes a minute.
El Cid is a hero of turbulent reconquista times. It's interesting that he was a mercenary and during his life served for many rulers. However he is best known for his war against Almoravids and conquest of Valencia. His body is buried in the Burgos cathedral and the city of Burgos commemorated him in way of giving his name to one of the squares and putting his statue in the center. More statues of other historical figures are located on nearby bridge.
Un sitio muy hermoso. La estatua del Mío Cid Campeador es de las mejores atracciones de la provincia de Burgos. Ideal para unas buenas tomas fotográficas.
O melhor de Burgos é a catedral, portão de Santa Maria e o comércio local que tem ótimos preços, mas se sobrar tempo, dê uma olhada na estátua de el cid, herói na cidade. Fica perto da bonita casa del cordon, algumas quadras acima da catedral.
Marcus Aurelius it is not! As such statues go, it is representative of its period, but not ground-breaking. I liked it and it reminded me of the 1961 movie with Charlton Heston.
You cannot miss this statue if you take a walk along the river in Burgos. It dominates a square in front of the Theatre and points the way across the bridge with his sword.We wondered why the square is called 'Mio Cid' (My Cid?)
Enjoy history as you walk to nearby restaurants or hotel. The river walk is around the corner and it's a nice stroll to get your bearings.
