The primitive Romanesque church was built dedicated to the Savior and Saint Mary. In 1098, King Alfonso VI donated land for its construction. The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure. In the 16th century, the right part of the transept was raised to house the tomb of Saint Dominic.

The parents told the mayor of the city, who did not believe them and told them: "Your son is as alive as the roasted rooster and hen that I am eating." According to legend, the animals regained their feathers and came back to life at that very moment.

Belorado is the most important town in the province of Burgos, an enclave known for its geographic location between the Sierra de la Demanda and the border with the autonomous community of La Rioja. The 22 municipalities of these lands are operated under a common association. Belorado was an important strategic location. Its birth as we know it today is closely related to an early medieval castle which controlled the passage through the Ebro Valley to the plateau during the Reconquista. The town was the first place in Spain to celebrate a fair. It was in 1116, thanks to the privilege granted by King Alfonso I of Aragon. In the eighties Belorado was an important place, specializing in the production of animal fur products. Despite this history only a few factories remain, although its glorious past in the fur industry is still visible by a multitude of old posters that still hang on the facades of the buildings. If you are traveling on the Camino de Santiago or are planning to do so soon, you should know that the distance separating Belorado from Santiago de Compostela is 543 kilometers. https://vivecamino.com/en/belorado/
