The Burgos Cathedral is a Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral in Burgos, Spain. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is famous for its vast size (the third largest in Spain!) and unique architecture. Its construction began in 1221, and was completed nine years later, following French Gothic parameters.

Its cruciform floorplan, with a 106 meter long nave and wide aisles, is almost hidden, in exterior views, by the fifteen chapels added at all angles to the aisles and transepts, by the beautiful 14th-century cloister on the northwest and the archiepiscopal palace on the southwest. Over the three central doorways of the main or western façade rise the two lofty and graceful towers, crowned by their spires. (The main spires are 88 meters tall.) Many of the altars, chapels and monuments within the cathedral are of artistic and historical interest. (Wikipedia)
