The St.James’ Cathedral (600 m) - The Cathedral of Santiago, conceived as a small city of stone centred on holy relics and endowed with its own life, has evolved with vitality through the years, resulting in today’s heterogeneous building of different historical styles and artistic tendencies that have been successively superimposed.
Alameda Park (Paseo da Ferradura) (1.1 km) – The city’s most renowned and admired viewpoint is that of Paseo da Ferradura, located in Alameda Park, on the eastern slope of the Santa Susana hill. From there, there is a spectacular frontal view of the cathedral rising up majestically over the mass of historical buildings.
Museum of the Galician People (2.7 km) - The former Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval, situated on a hill outside the walls of the historical city, beside the road used by pilgrims to enter Compostela, now houses the Museo do Pobo Galego (Museum of the Galician People), which, by means of a wide-ranging and varied collection of pieces, provides a general view of the most representative expressions of Galicia’s own culture.
