Mausoleo del Empecinado, Neoclassical monument in Burgos, Spain.
The mausoleum features an obelisk-topped structure with Corinthian columns, standing prominently on Fernán González Street in Burgos.
Built in 1851, this memorial contains the remains of Juan Martín Díaz, a Spanish guerrilla leader who fought against French occupation during the Peninsular War.
The monument represents the Spanish resistance against foreign invasion, funded entirely through public contributions from local communities in the 1840s.
Visitors can find the mausoleum in central Burgos, where informative plaques detail the military campaigns of Juan Martín Díaz El Empecinado.
The remains of El Empecinado were transferred to this location in 1856, transforming it into a reference point for Spanish independence studies.
