In the heart of Burgos, the Iglesia de Santa Águeda stands as a testament to medieval history. This church commemorates a crucial event involving the legendary figure El Cid.

Founded in 956, and dedicated to Saint Agatha, the church is historically significant for the oath taken by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar at the behest of the Castilian Cortes. Unique features include its inscription marking the site of the oath, although the church structure has evolved over centuries.
