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 history of Santiago began on July 25, 813, when the Bishop of Iria, Teodomiro, confirmed the discovery of the tomb of the apostle Saint James in the village of San Fiz de Solovio, which would eventually become the city of Compostela. News of the discovery quickly spread throughout the Christian world, which at the time was threatened by the Islamic invasions. A large basilica was built over the tomb of the apostle, and there was a constant coming and going of travelers and pilgrims between Santiago and the rest of Europe. Religion, culture, trade and politics came together along the way. Everyone who comes here is impressed by the past and the present.

Very beautiful bridge with wide stones. Ideal to pause for a moment
