Casa del Cordon - frontage
San Lesmes church (14/15 century).
"Le Cid" performed in Paris 1637
Statue of El CidBurgos - Royal monastery of Las Huelgas.
Founded in 1180 this was originally a convent for noble cistercian sisters. From the outside it is very austere but is a splendid visit. Although the church was undergoing work when I was there I was most impressed by the wooden flooring. Unfortunately photography is prohibited inside, including the lovely cloisters. A real disappointment. The visits are guided and only in Spanish and costs 5 euros. Tickets are taken in the courtyard on the right hand side.
