Vela Zanetti’s murals

The Palace of the Provincial Council of Burgos keeps a series of impressive murals painted by Vela Zanetti in the second half of the 20th-Century. The depicted image of El Cid is quite different from the traditional image of the hero: here El Cid appears distressed and his face suggests fatigue; as for the small host of men that accompany him, their faces and hands reveal they are peasant workers. This artistic approaching is clearly different from the victorious one reflected in the equestrian statue placed at Plaza del Cid, only a few metres away from the palace.

Visits: it is necessary to call before in order to ask for premission.
