Brotherhoods
Our Brotherhoods
Holy Week in Burgos is a celebration rich in history, faith, and tradition that captivates all who have the privilege of experiencing it. At the heart of this festival are the brotherhoods, guardians of a cultural heritage that has endured for centuries.
Discover these confraternities which, through devotion and dedication, bring to life the most emblematic processions of our city. Each has its own unique history, deeply moving images, and rituals that connect you with the very roots of our identity.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this world of faith and tradition. Learn about their origins, their colors, their music, and the role they play in Holy Week in Burgos. To discover the brotherhoods is not only to understand a celebration, but to understand the soul of Burgos.
Let yourself be inspired by their passion and live an unforgettable experience.
