Torquoise.travel: Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela Spain

Since medieval times until the present day, Santiago de Compostela is considered a major destination for pilgrims. This holy city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Located in the far northwest of Spain, 100km north of the Portuguese border, Santiago is the capital of the autonomous region of Galicia. The city is home to Spain’s most famous church. La Catedral is majestic, a harmonious blend of styles and eras beneath two towering towers. Just inside the main entrance is the Pórtico de la Gloria, one of the most outstanding examples of Romanesque sculpture in Europe. Near the cathedral, there is the Museo do Pobo Galego, a museum of the Galician people, housed in the Monasterio de Santo Domingo, which contains replicas of ancient Celtic ruins. Nearly half of Santiago’s population is made up of lively students eager to have a good time. Bars and pubs can be found throughout the medieval streets of the old town and along Calle Santiago de Chile. The nights in Santiago de Compostela have a special light. The moonlight turns the town into a timeless scene where landmarks highlight the city’s most beautiful and nostalgic side. And for those looking for atmosphere, Santiago’s nights are endless.
