From the Santiago de Compostela World / Places
Praza de Cervantes
Stop in Cervantes Square, a medieval gathering place on the approach to the cathedral. Its small scale recalls a medieval civic meeting place.
Why go
The city tourism account describes it as an early public meeting point where proclamations were read. Its scale and position make it useful for understanding daily civic life in the old town, away from the cathedral’s most monumental squares. Its human scale offers a useful contrast with the ceremonial spaces around the cathedral.
What to look for
