BURGOS
In 884, as part of the policy of repopulating the territories reconquered by the Christians, Alfonso III, king of Leon, trying to slow down the advance of the Muslims, ordered Count Diego Rodríguez to create a city on the banks of the Arlanzón. The origin of Burgos is, therefore, military. It benefits from a privileged geographical location due to the fact that it is halfway between Madrid and the French border, as well as very close cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Logroño or Valladolid, among others.
After being a simple stage of the Camino de Santiago, Burgos comes to dominate the Segovia-Bilbao commercial axis, that is to say the route for exporting wool, the main resource of Castile. At the end of the 15th century, the merchants of Burgos, after having established a de facto monopoly on the trade of this raw material, reigned over Old Castile and maintained agents in the main commercial centres of Western Europe: Nantes and Rouen, Antwerp and Bruges. They settled in Seville to take advantage of the relations established with America, and the quest for fortune took them to the Canaries, Cape Verde and Guinea. From the 16th century, however, the bourgeoisie of Burgos, until then the most prosperous in Spain, experienced decline.
Monasterio de las Huelgas
The Monasterio de las Huelgas Reales (Monastery of the Royal Retreats) on the outskirts of the city, was founded in 1180 by king Alfonso VIII, and was begun in a pre-Gothic style, although almost every style has been introduced over many additions. The remarkable cloisters have been described as "unrivalled for beauty both of detail and design, and perhaps unsurpassed by anything in its age and style in any part of Europe" (1911 Encyclopædia Britannica). One cloister has semicircular arches with delicate and varied columns; the other has an ogival style of early Gothic. This convent historically benefited from extraordinary privileges granted to its abbess by kings and popes.

CASA DEL CORDON
Built in the 15th century for the constables of Castile, this residence displays, on its facade, the large Franciscan cord which gave it its name. The Catholic Monarchs received Christopher Columbus there on his return from his second voyage to the Americas. Philippe le Beau died there suddenly of a cold. Francis I, freed from the captivity resulting from his defeat at Pavia in 1525, stayed in these places before returning to France.

MIRAFLORES CHARTERHOUSE
The Carthusian monastery, Miraflores Charterhouse (Cartuja de Miraflores) is situated about four kilometres from the historic city center.
Before the building was ceded to the Carthusian order, it was the recreational residence of Henry III of Spain, who decided to build this palace on one of his hunting reserves. The building was subsequently restored when his son King John II came to the throne, following a design by John of Cologne. Construction was finally completed in the reign of Queen Isabella, and the top architects, sculptures and painters of the time were employed for the job, including figures such as Simon of Cologne, Gil de Siloé and Pedro Berruguete. The Carthusian monastery became one of the treasures of the Gothic style of the late 15th century.
Gil de Siloé (Antwerp? 1440s – Burgos, 1501) was a Castilian sculptor of Flemish origin, who worked in Burgos in a late gothic or Isabelline style.
His Hispano-Flemish style, which combines influences of the Germanic and Flemish gothic, and Mudéjar, is meticulous in its ornamentation and displays great technical virtuosity.
In Miraflores Charterhouse there are several works by Gil de Siloé:
•The main altarpiece (1496–1499). Gil was assisted by Diego de la Cruz, who was responsible for the polychromy and some of the figures.
It is an altarpiece in gilded and polychromatic walnut wood, representing Christ on the cross. It is located in the choir of the monastery.
•The mausoleum of King John II of Castile and of his wife, Isabella of Portugal (1489–1493).
•The funeral monument for Alfonso son of John II and brother of Isabella I of Castile (1489–1492).

Where is here the 12th apostle? John is apparently missing, but his head is placed on the table in front of Jesus in a somewhat unusual way. He leaned towards him. Mary Magdalene washes Jesus' feet. In the middle plate there is a little pig.

BURGOS
In 884, as part of the policy of repopulating the territories reconquered by the Christians, Alfonso III, king of Leon, trying to slow down the advance of the Muslims, ordered Count Diego Rodríguez to create a city on the banks of the Arlanzón. The origin of Burgos is, therefore, military. It benefits from a privileged geographical location due to the fact that it is halfway between Madrid and the French border, as well as very close cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Logroño or Valladolid, among others.
After being a simple stage of the Camino de Santiago, Burgos comes to dominate the Segovia-Bilbao commercial axis, that is to say the route for exporting wool, the main resource of Castile. At the end of the 15th century, the merchants of Burgos, after having established a de facto monopoly on the trade of this raw material, reigned over Old Castile and maintained agents in the main commercial centres of Western Europe: Nantes and Rouen, Antwerp and Bruges. They settled in Seville to take advantage of the relations established with America, and the quest for fortune took them to the Canaries, Cape Verde and Guinea. From the 16th century, however, the bourgeoisie of Burgos, until then the most prosperous in Spain, experienced decline.
CATHEDRAL
Burgos Cathedral is an immense Gothic church, built from 1220, in the ornate taste fashionable in Germany and France at that time.
Third cathedral in Spain by its dimensions (84 m long and 60 m wide), its construction will take more than three centuries.

One cloister has semicircular arches with delicate and varied columns; the other has an ogival style of early Gothic. This convent historically benefited from extraordinary privileges granted to its abbess by kings and popes.

MIRAFLORES CHARTERHOUSE
The Carthusian monastery, Miraflores Charterhouse (Cartuja de Miraflores) is situated about four kilometres from the historic city center.
Before the building was ceded to the Carthusian order, it was the recreational residence of Henry III of Spain, who decided to build this palace on one of his hunting reserves. The building was subsequently restored when his son King John II came to the throne, following a design by John of Cologne. Construction was finally completed in the reign of Queen Isabella, and the top architects, sculptures and painters of the time were employed for the job, including figures such as Simon of Cologne, Gil de Siloé and Pedro Berruguete. The Carthusian monastery became one of the treasures of the Gothic style of the late 15th century.
For this project, I took my old wooden door and tried to put a shabby chic twist to it. To achieve this look the door had to go through a couple simple stages of renovating before it was a presentable piece. Firstly it had to be sanded down to remove the original wax coat before I could begin white washing it. The panels are made up of a variety of contrasting and complimentary materials, giving the piece an artistic feel, while also giving an additional colour splash to the room. In the top left corner is my original watercolour design and intention for the piece, following on from that is a brief spider diagram of the design direction I intended for the door. In the left bottom corner is the final materials I sourced for the piece and finally is a photograph of the door in its finished state.

ARCO SANTA MARIA
This gateway to the city saw its facade modified in the 16th century into a triumphal arch for Emperor Charles V. It presents the great figures of Burgos: at the bottom, Diego Rodríguez Porcelos is framed by the two semi-legendary judges who are said to have directed the affairs of Castile in the 10th century. And at the top, Count Fernán González and the Cid (right) keep Charles V company.

Gil de Siloé (Antwerp? 1440s – Burgos, 1501) was a Castilian sculptor of Flemish origin, who worked in Burgos in a late gothic or Isabelline style.
His Hispano-Flemish style, which combines influences of the Germanic and Flemish gothic, and Mudéjar, is meticulous in its ornamentation and displays great technical virtuosity.
In Miraflores Charterhouse there are several works by Gil de Siloé:
•The main altarpiece (1496–1499). Gil was assisted by Diego de la Cruz, who was responsible for the polychromy and some of the figures.
It is an altarpiece in gilded and polychromatic walnut wood, representing Christ on the cross. It is located in the choir of the monastery.
•The mausoleum of King John II of Castile and of his wife, Isabella of Portugal (1489–1493).
•The funeral monument for Alfonso son of John II and brother of Isabella I of Castile (1489–1492).

It benefits from a privileged geographical location due to the fact that it is halfway between Madrid and the French border, as well as very close cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Logroño or Valladolid, among others.
After being a simple stage of the Camino de Santiago, Burgos comes to dominate the Segovia-Bilbao commercial axis, that is to say the route for exporting wool, the main resource of Castile. At the end of the 15th century, the merchants of Burgos, after having established a de facto monopoly on the trade of this raw material, reigned over Old Castile and maintained agents in the main commercial centres of Western Europe: Nantes and Rouen, Antwerp and Bruges. They settled in Seville to take advantage of the relations established with America, and the quest for fortune took them to the Canaries, Cape Verde and Guinea. From the 16th century, however, the bourgeoisie of Burgos, until then the most prosperous in Spain, experienced decline.
MIRAFLORES CHARTERHOUSE
The Carthusian monastery, Miraflores Charterhouse (Cartuja de Miraflores) is situated about four kilometres from the historic city center.
Before the building was ceded to the Carthusian order, it was the recreational residence of Henry III of Spain, who decided to build this palace on one of his hunting reserves. The building was subsequently restored when his son King John II came to the throne, following a design by John of Cologne. Construction was finally completed in the reign of Queen Isabella, and the top architects, sculptures and painters of the time were employed for the job, including figures such as Simon of Cologne, Gil de Siloé and Pedro Berruguete. The Carthusian monastery became one of the treasures of the Gothic style of the late 15th century.
Gil de Siloé (Antwerp? 1440s – Burgos, 1501) was a Castilian sculptor of Flemish origin, who worked in Burgos in a late gothic or Isabelline style.
His Hispano-Flemish style, which combines influences of the Germanic and Flemish gothic, and Mudéjar, is meticulous in its ornamentation and displays great technical virtuosity.
In Miraflores Charterhouse there are several works by Gil de Siloé:
•The main altarpiece (1496–1499). Gil was assisted by Diego de la Cruz, who was responsible for the polychromy and some of the figures.
It is an altarpiece in gilded and polychromatic walnut wood, representing Christ on the cross. It is located in the choir of the monastery.
•The mausoleum of King John II of Castile and of his wife, Isabella of Portugal (1489–1493).
•The funeral monument for Alfonso son of John II and brother of Isabella I of Castile (1489–1492).
