Santiago De Compostela's historic centre
The Plaza del Obradoiro sits at the midpoint of the city, where the Cathedral, the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, the San Xerome College and the Raxoi Palace (City Hall) are located. In the centre of the square you will discover a plaque considered by pilgrims "kilometre zero", point of arrival of all the roads that lead to the Apostle.The Cathedral (Romanesque with a Latin cross plan) was built on the spot where the Apostle's tomb appeared. The facade of the Obradoiro is topped by the masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture, the Portico de Gloria.
Other places that deserve a look-see: the Plaza de la Inmaculada, Plaza de la Quintana and the Plaza de las Platerías. There are numerous Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical mansions: the Pazo de Monroy, the Vaamonde, the Bendaña, the Santa Cruz or the Fonseca.
The Convent of San Domingos de Bonaval (Museum of Pobo Galego), the church of the same name, the Galician Centre of Contemporary Art and the Monastery of San Martiño Pinario (whose main altarpiece is one of the best examples of Spanish Baroque).
