Castle of Burgos and its collection

Castle of Burgos
Source

The Castle of Burgos is located on top of a small mountain, Cerro del Castillo, and stands about 75 meters above the city. This strategic location offers a panoramic view of the city, making it a great spot for sightseeing. The castle's elevated position also provides insight into its historical role as a defensive structure.

Underground Passages

Beneath the castle are narrow passages known as Cueva del Moro. They date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, although they were only recorded in 1475. These underground passages add an element of mystery and adventure to a visit to the castle, offering a unique experience for tourists.

Recreational Area and Guided Tours

Today, the area around the castle is a recreational area. There are also closed-off spaces that can only be visited with a guide, including the well and the underground galleries. This offers a unique opportunity for tourists to explore the castle's historical features under expert guidance, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the site.
