Description

Visit to The Abbey of Santa Maria la Real de las Huelgas

It is the very emblematic monastery from the city of Burgos, founded by the King Alfonso the VIII from Castile in 1187, to shelter the royal pantheon. Its interior is inhabited by a community of Cistercian monks who fervently custody the "Museum of Medieval Fabrics", unique in Europe, and which constitutes an extremely rich cultural, patrimonial, historical and spiritual legacy.
