AB In the field of Anthropology, both social and political, there has been a lot of emphasis in recent times on power's inherent need to be theatrically staged and publicly demonstrated in an appropriate setting by using the right symbols and images. Indeed, the aim of all power is to perpetuate itself by means of an adequate system of representation which, going beyond the immediate reality of its implementation, appears, however, embedded in it, designed to reaffirm and complete it. And this is even more evident in a period outstandingly "gestural" like the Middle Ages. Although studies on urban political identity -or identities- have become increasingly important in recent years, they have insisted rather on the processes that explain the origin, evolution and development of urban political identity (or on such features as define a given shared group identity), than on the staging (and the "stages") of power itself. My intention, therefore, in this paper is to address a combined analysis of the staging and display of urban power through the example of Burgos. To do this, I will focus primarily on two different scenarios: first I will try to reconstruct how the residents perceived or "made visible" the above-mentioned power by equating it with the so-called "patrician power", as well as the forms and records power used in displaying itself before the citizenship. Secondly, I will attempt to stage the enactment of municipal power as "lord" of vassals: in other words, the projection of urban power over the territory it controls and dominates.
