Desde el siglo XVI, el Arzobispado y Cabildo de Burgos alimentaron el propósito de levantar una
nueva sacristía en correspondencia con la solemnidad del culto que se celebraba en la Catedral.
A pesar de los distintos intentos, solo se alcanza tal objetivo de forma definitiva ya avanzado el
siglo XVIII. Entonces, el prestigioso maestro jerónimo fray Antonio de San José Pontones elaboró un proyecto que se ha localizado recientemente. Y, aunque tampoco se llevó a cabo, resulta un
interesante testimonio del universo en el que se movía la Seo burgalesa en el contexto del último
barroco.
Since the 16th Century, the Archbishopric and the Town Council of Burgos intended to carry out
a new vestry for the Cathedral in accordance to worship celebrations held back then. After several
attempts, such goal was achieved only by the last decades of the 18th century. In this context,
the prestigious Jerome master friar Antonio de San José Pontones developped a Project that has
been recently brought to light. And even when the plan was never materialised, proved to be an
important evidence of the atmosphere in which the Cathedral was building on those days, in the
baroque sunset.
