Santiago de Compostela Cathedral
Santiago Cathedral is the endpoint of the Camino pilgrimage and the focus of Plaza del Obradoiro. Its facade and interior carry different parts of that story.
Why go
From the square, the Obradoiro facade marks the finish for arriving pilgrims. Inside, the cathedral’s shrine and layered architecture explain why that arrival has endured for centuries. Visit both the public square and the building to understand its role beyond a city landmark.
What to look for
