Hostal dos Reis Católicos

Why go

The entrance is an immediate way to see how Santiago cared for arriving pilgrims as well as celebrated their destination. The building was commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs, and its four courtyards and Gothic chapel speak to the scale of that role, though interior access needs confirmation.

What to look for

• The Plateresque entrance faces Praza do Obradoiro.
• Chains mark the forecourt in front of the former hospital.
• Four courtyards and a Gothic chapel lie within the hotel complex.

Useful to know

• Take in the exterior while crossing Praza do Obradoiro between the cathedral and Pazo de Raxoi.
• Ask the operator about current interior visits before making the courtyards or chapel the reason for a trip.
