About Santiago de Compostela
Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, is the end point of the Camino pilgrimage routes, an old granite city dominated by its great cathedral.
Santiago de Compostela grew around the tomb of St James the Apostle, said to have been found in the ninth century, and pilgrims have walked here along the Camino de Santiago for a thousand years. The cathedral dominates the Praza do Obradoiro with a baroque façade facing the square; inside, the Romanesque Portico of Glory has carved figures, and a giant incense burner, the botafumeiro, swings on special occasions. The old town is a UNESCO site.
Top-ranked sights in Santiago de Compostela: Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (Catedral de Santiago de Compostela), Praza das Praterías (Plaza de Platerías), Monastery of San Martiño Pinario (Mosteiro de San Martiño Pinario).
