Today, when travellers, pilgrims or tourists arrive in Compostela and look up in front of the Obradoiro façade, they can only say: “It was worth it”. Never can such a simple phrase say so much. The city of Santiago offers an incomparable monumental complex. Its monasteries, temples, palaces, old streets and typical popular constructions, together with its spiritual and cultural significance, have earned it its inclusion within the World Heritage Site.
