About 1440 Juan de Colonia was invited by Alfonso de Cartagena, the then bishop of Burgos to work on Burgos Cathedral.[1] He also worked on the reconstruction of Miraflores Charterhouse.
While working in Burgos Juan married a local woman, María Fernández. After his death, his son Simon succeeded him as master builder of the cathedral.
