This town in Soria has its roots in the primitive Arevacan settlement of Uxama and now offers one of the best preserved medieval villages in the region. It’s for this reason it’s been awarded distinguished Historic Site status.
Take advantage of any of our cheap trips to El Burgo de Osma and discover the town’s many attractions for yourself. The cathedral, built over a Romanesque temple, is known for its monumental Gothic style. The bell tower, the town’s emblem, stands high above the walls that once enclosed the town, which date back to the 15th century. This building was partially demolished in the 18th century, but fortunately one of the entrances, La Puerta de San Miguel, is still standing today and offers us one of the most beautiful and emblematic views of El Burgo.
If you want to soak up the true local spirit, visit Plaza Mayor, the town's main square, and the surrounding streets that make up the backbone of the town. In the square you’ll find two of the most emblematic buildings: the San Agustín hospital and the town hall, a neo-Mudéjar construction. Very close by you’ll find the Episcopal palace, with its late Gothic façade.
