Burgos is a Castilian city inhabited by some 176,000 inhabitants of Burgos, a figure that makes it the second most populous city in the community.

Roman and Arab remains have also been found in the area, who supposedly called the city Burchia. With the arrival of the Christians, Burgos achieved its greatest recognition, as it was named capital of the Kingdom of Castile in 1038.
