A flamboyant Gothic dome in the Cathedral of Santa Maria

The Chapel of the Constable, located within the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Burgos, shines as a magnificent example of flamboyant Gothic architecture. Incorporated by the Colonia family in the 15th century, this chapel is situated in the transept and features a dome that contributes to the cathedral's unmistakable profile.

The Colonia family, originally from Cologne, also incorporated the open spires of the main facade between 1442 and 1458. These elements are part of the flamboyant Gothic style that defines the cathedral's exterior. The construction and renovations used limestone extracted from the nearby town of Hontoria de la Cantera.

The cathedral's design is deeply rooted in French Gothic style, with a facade inspired by the great cathedrals of Paris and Reims. While the earlier sections date back to the 13th century, the 15th and 16th centuries saw major embellishments, including the Chapel of the Constable and the work of Juan de Colonia.
