Inside, this beauty and creative genius is complemented by a long list of exceptional works: the starry dome that covers the tombs of El Cid and Doña Jimena, the choir, the tombs, and the Golden Staircase by the Burgos architect and sculptor Diego de Siloé, one of the most representative figures of the Spanish Renaissance. The historic centre of Burgos ends with two important buildings: to the west rises the Monastery of Santa María Real de las Huelgas, and its remarkable Gothic cloister and chapel of the Apostle Santiago. Nearby, the Museo de Ricas Telas showcases, for example, the historic banner seized from the Arabs in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (year 1212).
