It is one of the finest examples of Romanesque art in Spain. The church was build just above the tomb of St. James (that was discovered in 819 AD). The construction of this church began in 1060 in the reign of Alfonso VI and was completed in 1211. With the passing times, various elements were added leading to a dramatic change of the exterior in the 16th -18th century. So, in the architectural design of the exterior portion you get to see Baroque style while the interior still retains its Romanesque art form.

Significant features of the cathedral is the facade. Its architectural work is the extended composition on the Plaza del Obradoiro; the entrance has the famous Portico de la Gloria, carved by Maestro Mateo (in 1188) and is a finest example of medieval art; the museum that’s tells you about Santiago and a library.
