Monastery of San Francisco, Religious ruins in Burgos, Spain
The stone remains of San Francisco Monastery include two bell towers and lateral chapels between buttresses along a three-nave Gothic church layout.
The monastery, supposedly founded in 1213 with approval from King Alfonso VIII of Castile, suffered extensive damage during the Independence War and faced demolition in 1836.
The monastery contained numerous noble burial sites from Burgos and Castilian families, including the Counts of Montalvo and the Huidobro family with their funerary monuments.
Located on San Francisco Street near the Trinity Convent ruins and San Gil Church, the site undergoes continuous restoration work to prevent structural collapses.
The monastery cloister displayed Renaissance paintings by Flemish artists depicting events from Saint Francis of Assisi's life alongside detailed architectural elements.
