Bishops made this town: the Gothic cathedral begun in the 13th century became its centre, and for centuries the Church was its lord. El Burgo de Osma stands where the Ucero and Abión rivers meet, with 15th-century walls, a Plaza Mayor and a 16th-century university. A kilometre away, on a hill, lie the Celtiberian and Roman remains of Uxama.
