5Santiago de Compostela (Old Town)
For centuries, pilgrims from across Europe have journeyed to Santiago de Compostela, the final stop on the legendary Camino de Santiago. The city’s magnificent cathedral, believed to house the remains of the Apostle Saint James, is the spiritual heart of this pilgrimage.
Its Romanesque architecture, Baroque façade, and richly decorated interiors make it a masterpiece of sacred art. Beyond the cathedral, the old town is filled with cobbled streets, stone squares, and centuries-old monasteries. Whether you arrive as a pilgrim or a visitor, Santiago’s spiritual and historical significance makes it unforgettable.
