Arcos de la Llana
Village
Arcos de la Llana is a town in the province of Burgos, in the comarca of Alfoz de Burgos, situated 10 kilometres south of the provincial capital, on the banks of the river Ausín; with 1,823 inhabitants, it is today part of the Burgos metropolitan area and one of the fastest-growing settlements in the area demographically. It is already mentioned in documents from the year 957. Its name comes from the stone arches through which one entered the walled enclosure surrounding the historic centre; of that wall two arches remain today, one crowned with the imperial arms of Charles I and the other attached to the courtyard of the palace. Its church of San Miguel Arcángel bears a Mudéjar tower which, together with that of Medinilla de la Dehesa, is the only one of that style in the whole province.
