The new series by José Luis Moreno rolls in the Cathedral of Burgos

The Plaza de Santa María welcomed yesterday afternoon the team of technicians and actors who are preparing the new series by José Luis Moreno. ‘The brightness and the darkness’ will revolve around the life of Francis of Assisi. The producer has chosen the Burgos cathedral to record inside different sequences that will be part of this new production.

Due to the deployment of personnel, which amounts to around 150 people, the Cabildo has decided close the temple to tourism during the afternoons of yesterday and today. A parade of props, banners, thrones and cassocks from the 12th and 13th centuries took place yesterday in the Burgos Cathedral. The filming has aroused the curiosity of all passers-by in the area but no details have been revealed about the content of the scenes.

The historical dates have caused the shots recorded in Burgos do not go to represent the Cathedral, since Francisco de Asís died in 1226, when only 5 years had passed since the beginning of the construction of the temple.
