The Cathedral of Santiago is a living temple that welcomes hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and helps them assert or discover themselves as spiritual beings. The Cathedral is also a wonder of universal art and architecture. It encompasses highly valuable creations that were made since the beginning of the construction works at the height of the Romanesque period, 900 years ago, until the emergence of Neoclassicism in the second half of the 18th century, including also exceptional Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque contributions.
