Statue of El Cid, the Campeador (Plaza del Mio Cid, Burgos)

Highlight • Monument

In the Plaza de Mio Cid stands the monument statue to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar -El Cid Campeador-.
The bronze equestrian statue of the Cid was made by Juan Cristóbal and inaugurated in 1955.
With the sword and the cape flying in the wind, the equestrian image with Babieca as a mount, has an attitude of departure towards exile. The sword points towards Valencia, a city that he conquered in 1094. The statue faces the San Pablo bridge where we can see eight Cidian figures by Joaquín Lucarini.

It was built in the 14th century, following King John I of Castile's order in 1383 to demolish the old Hermitage of San Juan, which housed the tomb of San Lesmes, because it was located next to the city wall.
