This is the Burgos - Ciudad Con Historia 0 Euro Note which depicts a historic image of the city in 1850. Burgos is a city in Spain located in the autonomous community of Castile and León. It is the capital and most populous municipality of the province of Burgos.

Burgos is situated in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, on the confluence of the Arlanzón river tributaries and at the edge of the central plateau. The municipality has a population of about 180,000 inhabitants. The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route runs through Burgos.

Founded in 885 by the second Count of Castile, Diego Rodríguez Porcelos, Burgos soon became the leading city of the embryonic County of Castile.

Burgos is a city rich in medieval charm, history, and architecture. At its heart stands the magnificent Burgos Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most stunning examples of Gothic architecture. Visitors can also explore the Monasterio de las Huelgas, a royal convent with centuries of history, and the Cartuja de Miraflores, a serene monastery housing the tombs of King John II and Queen Isabella of Portugal.

The city’s historic old town is perfect for strolling, with cobbled streets, stone bridges, and traditional tapas bars. The Museum of Human Evolution, featuring the nearby Atapuerca archaeological findings, offers insight into early human history and is one of Spain’s most modern museums.

Surrounded by scenic landscapes, Burgos is also ideal for nature lovers, with nearby walking and cycling routes, including the famous Camino de Santiago, which passes through the city.
