Best places: Historical landmarks in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Enduring plaza surrounded by ornate edifices, including a cathedral & a 9th-century monastery.

👍👍 Such a great view of the city spreading out and below! You get a good sense of the city's size and can see a bit more of the buildings than you do just walking in the streets. This is a good sized park with paths, statues and eucalyptus trees from Australia. Take in the city from a bench here while...

👍👍 It is a nice place. Alot of people. The streets very Middle age. You have to love it. The place of a disciple of Christ.

👍👍 La plaza es fantástica, es inolvidable entrar en la plaza y ver la fabulosa fachada de la catedral. Por dentro es un lugar increíble, lleno de historia, lo único que no me gustó fue que antes era gratis visitar toda la catedral, las catacumbas...todo.... Y ahora te piden dinero por ver cada cosa .

Old town square flanked by cafes & tapas bars, with a fountain statue of the Don Quixote author.

😠 The cathedral is great, BUT: we came from Germany to see Santiago de Compostela and a part of it is Pórtico de la Gloria. The website did not allow to book two weeks in advance.

👍👍 Masterful Conservation and Maintenance work! Recommend to visit! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✌

Composed of different Renaissance details, a fountain with four Baroque-style horses that quickly catch the visitor's attention! Dates from 1825 [J.Pernas]!! Above the pedestal stands the Marmòrica or Marmárica Ark, which...

👍👍 The fountain in Plaza del Toural has a somewhat sinister history. It's curious. According to the records, it was requested by citizens around 1584 and finally installed in 1820, that is, almost three hundred years late, the bureaucracy was also slow in those times. The reason for this delay was that...

👍👍 He vivido en Santiago de Compostela muchos años. Esta foto de A Porta do Camiño, donde se encuentran Las Casas Reales. Antes de 1992, casi no había Peregrinos pero desde 1992 en que D. Manuel Fraga, Presidente de la Xunta del Reino de Galicia, promovió la Peregrinación a Santiago de Compostela, este...

👍👍 Al llegar ya este lugar se puede decir que ya estás en Santiago, solo nos separan 4km del pórtico de la Gloria, el cansancio y las heridas acumuladas del camino pasan a un segundo plano por la emoción de estar llegando al final de nuestro camino. Foto obligada para inmortalizar la entrada a nuestro...

👍👍 Bonita construccion romana

👍👍 Vista exelentes desde la Porta da Pena!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 en Santiago de Compostela!!
