The Solar del Cid is a monument built in the 18th century in the place where it was thought, without historical evidence, that the house of the Cid was located. It consists of three monoliths with different coats of arms and a plaque commemorating the link between Cid and Burgos: "Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, called Cid Campeador, had his home on this site and was born in 1026. He died in Valencia in 1099 and was transferred his body to the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña, near this city, which to perpetuate the memory of such an enlightened plot of his son and hero from Burgos, erected this monument on the ancient ruins in 1784, when Carlos III reigned."

The Solar del Cid is a monument in Burgos, built in 1784 by the artist José Cortés. It marks the spot where Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, also known as El Cid Campeador, is traditionally said to have had his home. Although there is no historical evidence that this was true, the legend did exist and the monument was built to cherish his memory. The monument consists of three monoliths of stone from Hontoria de la Cantera, with the coat of arms of El Cid in the center, and the coats of arms of Burgos and the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña on the sides.
