Nice and secluded place, where you can breathe tranquility and peace.

The hermitage is dedicated to Saint San Amaro, who after pilgrimage to Santiago settled in Burgos where he opened a hospital to cure the pilgrims who went to Santiago.

It is recommended to make a stop along the way, as it is located on the Camino de Santiago.

Next to it is the university campus.

The Hermitage of San Amaro is located in the western part of Burgos, next to the Hospital del Rey, and forms part of the route of the Camino de Santiago. It is a place of great historical and spiritual significance, especially linked to the care of pilgrims.

It was built in 1614 by Friar Pedro de Lazcano.

It is dedicated to Saint Amaro, a 13th-century French penitent who, after making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, settled in Burgos to care for the sick and pilgrims.
