El Burgo de Osma-Ciudad de Osma
El Burgo de Osma
Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España
Bishops made this town: the Gothic cathedral begun in the 13th century became its centre, and for centuries the Church was its lord. El Burgo de Osma stands where the Ucero and Abión rivers meet, with 15th-century walls, a Plaza Mayor and a 16th-century university. A kilometre away, on a hill, lie the Celtiberian and Roman remains of Uxama.
Highlights
- Cathedral of the Assumption, with a Gothic cloister and a Beatus manuscript of 1086
- Ruins of Roman Uxama, reached through a park with over 40 tree species
- Hospital de San Agustín, a baroque building on the Plaza Mayor hosting exhibitions
- Universidad de Santa Catalina, with a plateresque doorway, now a hotel
- Holy Week procession, and August festivities with the traditional rueda dance
