Burgos: The Capital of the Kingdom of Castile
Founded in the 9th century, Burgos is strategically located on a high plateau overlooking the Arlanzón River. Initially established as a frontier stronghold during the Reconquista, it gradually grows in importance.
Under King Ferdinand I of León and Castile, Burgos becomes the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, solidifying its role as a political, military, and economic center. Its strategic location and growing influence position it as a key city in the expansion and consolidation of Christian rule in Iberia.
