Hiking
The church dedicated to Santigo, in La Coruña, is located in the Old City just 150 meters southeast of the Plaza de María Pita. It measures around 36 x 18 meters and is canonically oriented, with a slight deviation to the south. Chronologically it dates back to the second half of the 12th century and is the oldest in the city. Originally, the temple had a triple nave, but today, after fires and renovations, the best preserved part is its head. Inside, the three naves have disappeared, giving way to a hall floor to which the apses open.
