Medieval silversmiths gave this square its name. The portal, fountain and shallow Casa do Cabido facade form a concentrated outdoor lesson in Romanesque and Baroque Santiago. Stand back to read the ensemble before looking closely at individual sculptures. The square rewards a second look because each side belongs to a different phase of the city’s architecture.
