Plaza del Obradoiro

Large, pleasant city plaza containing the church of St. James.

Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia

Local residents joke that the 4 buildings surrounding the square around the perimeter embody the 4 pillars that hold Santiago de Compostela: religion (Cathedral), power (City Hall), tourism (- Parador-Hostal de Los Reyes Catholicos) and education (San Xeronime College). Of course, the main thing on the square is the magnificent West facade of the Cathedral. It is good day and night. Despite its medieval status, this Baroque beauty is relatively recent by historical standards. The facade was completed in 1740 by the architect Fernando de Casas Novoa . There`s Palace Raxoi behind. The City Hall is located here now. St. James in the form of a statue will be found here also. It was believed that his statue helped in the fight against the Moors during the Reconquista. If You look at the North side you can find the former hospital for pilgrims, built by the ideologues of the Reconquista, zealous Catholics and persecutors of Jews and Moors by Queen Isabella of Castile and king Ferdinand of Aragon. The Parador for pilgrims is now here. Finally, the 16th-century College of San Xeronime is located on the South side of the square. In addition to contemplating the Baroque beauty of the Cathedral, interesting performances are played out in the arcades of the city hall in the late afternoon. Perhaps this will be the best end of the day.

Cathedral De Santiago de Compostela

Reviewed By PilatesLady58 - Norwich, United Kingdom

The cathedral is an incredible building with its impressive baroque facade and is the culmination for some of a long journey along the Camino to reach Santiago. At the moment it’s best viewed from the outside only as there is major restoration work going on for holy year in 2021 when the work will be completed. It’s still worth visiting the cathedral museum which has some interesting artworks on display. You can also access the cloister and get views out over the square by the cathedral to the surrounding countryside. I’m sure it will be amazing when it’s done but currently the interior is literally a building site!

Monte de San Pedro

This was a military fort but now turned into a beautiful park with historic information posted everywhere.

Reviewed By CraneSmith - Zaragoza, Spain

On our last day in A Coruña, we decided to head the opposite way from the Torre de Hércules and go to the Monte San Pedro. Since we walked from the town we came across the Elevator panorámico and it was a fabulous way to get up to the park. Luckily, the weather was perfect - sunny, reasonably gentle breeze, perfect temps; I’m not sure I would want to be up there in nasty or wet conditions. The park itself is just gorgeous - wonderful green fields with incredible views of the city and then out to the sea, including several (very) large gun emplacements from WW II. A word of caution: there is a restaurant on top but it is a Michelin-starred establishment, much, much heavier and much more formal than we were after. In other words, grab a couple of boccadillos ahead of time and enjoy the incredible views, flowering trees, and lovely grounds.

Castro de Barona

Reviewed By camillop450 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

The Castro de Barona is a stunning sight to see for anyone in the Rias Baixas region of Galicia, and even from further afield. The ruins are very well preserved for something of that age and furthermore they are unspoiled by other more recent edifices or other such things. This makes it a truly magical experience as one ambles through the Castro as it is easy to imagine the town as it was 2 millennia ago, a bustling fishing port and local fortress. The setting itself, without the ruins, is also simply stunning, and is worth a visit in its own right. However, with the addition of the wonderful ruins, it altogether transforms into one of the most extraordinary sights in Spain. It is certainly a must see for anyone in the area!
