Quintana Square. “Quintana” is the equivalent of “praça”, and both words designated, in medieval terminology, open spaces for public use. La Quintana was par excellence, delimited by the head of the Cathedral, the founding monastery, the canons' cemetery and the first town hall.

The night brings shadows with it and I get the imagination to fire and in Galicia the shadows cost you stories. The best known of the shadows, the most famous, photographed and named, is the shadow of the Clock Tower next to the Holy Door in Santiago de Compostela and with it a world of legends is shown to those who visit it.

The square was once a quiet city cemetery, today a meeting place for students and pilgrims before and after the fair. By the way, on the 25th of July (Apostolic Day), the Galician Left is demonstrating for more autonomy.

The square is divided into the "Praza da Quintana de Vivos" Place of the Living (above the stairs) and the "Praza da Quintana de Mortos" Place of the Dead (below the stairs).
