Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela

The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is defined by its massive, granite-hewn structure, which sits as a rugged anchor at the end of the long pilgrimage known as the Camino de Santiago. Its most recognizable feature from the square is the baroque façade of the Obradoiro, completed in seventeen-forty by Fernando de Casas Novoa, which protects the original twelfth-century Romanesque portico behind it.
