The Archdiocese of Burgos has been since the tenth century an episcopal see of Spain to which in the eleventh century the ancient Sees of Oca and Valpuesta were transferred. In 1574 Pope Gregory XIII raised it to metropolitan rank at the request of King Philip II. The archdiocese since the Concordat of 1851 comprises almost the entire province of Burgos.
