Tips

Whether it's the end or the beginning of your trip, a visit to the cathedral is always impressive. As this is the place where for many their pilgrimage ends, it is particularly exciting to simply sit in the forecourt and watch and greet the many exhausted but at the same time happy-looking arrivals. Everyone has at least one story ready.

In order to get a place in the pilgrim service, you have to be there early and like it crowded. If, on the other hand, you come outside of the main season, in the evening, you can take a close look at everything.

"In this Holy Year of Compostela, I too wanted to make a pilgrimage, Successor of St. Peter, to the house of "Senor Santiago", St. James, which is preparing to celebrate its 800th anniversary of consecration. I come to strengthen your faith, your hope and to entrust your concerns, toils and efforts for the Gospel to the intercession of the Apostle. Embracing his holy image, I also took with me in prayer all the sons and daughters of the Church. The Church, after all, has its origin in the mystery of communion, which God is. By faith we are introduced into the mystery of love, which is the Most Holy Trinity. We are in a way embraced by God and transformed by his love. The Church is this embrace of God, in which believers also learn the to embrace their brothers, discovering in them the image and likeness of God, which constitute the deepest truth of their being and are the source of true freedom."

(Welcome from Pope Benedict XVI when visiting the Cathedral in Ano Santo MMX on November 06, 2010)

Construction began with the first parts of the church already in the 9th century. The construction of the Romanesque embossed cathedral took place in 1075. A richly decorated Jacob statue with the crypt below, reminiscent of the relics of the saint who are kept there.
