It is famous for being the place that, according to tradition, houses the tomb of the Apostle Santiago, making it one of the main pilgrimage destinations in Europe through the Camino de Santiago. The building is a mix of architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque. The Obradoiro façade is particularly impressive and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the cathedral. In addition, the cathedral features the famous Botafumeiro, a huge censer used during certain liturgical celebrations.

The Fountain of the Horses, also known as Fonte dos Cabalos. The space consists of countless Renaissance details, but in the middle of the square there is a fountain with four horses in Baroque style that quickly attracts attention.  Built by J. Pernas in 1825, the Fonte dos Cabalos consists of four horses spouting water from their mouths.

The most important detail of these granaries - which are always deliberately built on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the top of the supporting columns.

Built on an old Roman foundation, the bridge crosses the Verdugo river. It is 144 metres long and consists of 10 pointed and semi-circular arches. The famous Battle of Pontesampaio took place on 7 and 8 June 1809, which was decisive in the Spanish War of Independence against the French and ended the 5-month French occupation.
