Explorar Burgos

The Museum of Human Evolution, opened in 2010 on the south bank of the Arlanzón, was designed by the architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg. It presents human evolution through fossils and finds from the Sierra de Atapuerca sites, about 16 km away, and organises bus visits to the excavations and to an experimental archaeology centre.

The Church of San Esteban is a Gothic church built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries on the slope of the castle hill. No longer used for worship, it houses the Museo del Retablo, where altarpieces restored from parish churches across the province stand in the naves, the cloister and the chapter house.
