  The exterior of cathedral has been under renovations for several years. The interior is now under renovations as well but the church is open during the renovation and they conduct two masses a day one at noon and one at 7:30 pm. Up

  The cathedral was subsequently expanded and embellished with additions in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

  Impressive cathedral. I would say its a must visit, if you are around North-Western Spain (Galicia) or even Northern Portugal (just cross the border, catch one of those frequent trains).

  Under renovation. Very old but lavish. Cathedral is made if cement and stones but the decoration of main altar is good leaf.

  Subsequently the first church was conducted in 829 AD. In 997 the early church was reduced to ashes by war. Construction of the present church started in 1075 with the last stone being laid in 1122.

  It is a massive and beautiful Cathedral with lots of gold plated surfaces and a long history dating back to late 8th and early 9th century when king Alfonso II ordered the construction of a chapel to hold the remains of apostle Saint James who was beheaded in Jerusalem in 44 AD.

  Very impressive, huge cathedral with an interesting history. A mixture of different architectures from different epochs. Wow visiting with a guided tour, but also requires some reading homework to be prepared (otherwise you won't get much and will be bored)

  1. St James' crypt. It's actually right under the main altar.

  3. Notice that the church only allows electronic candles (maybe a way to preserve the church interior).

  This church has been created during medieval times and continuously preserved over the years. Such a huge and impressive cathedral. Few things to see here:

  The Pilgrim's Mass was the most special experience one would have in an ancient cathedral.

  2. Chapels on the side-aside from the main altar, there's a lot more capilla (chapels) on the side of the church. Notice that the statues of the chapel are all entirely different: one capilla has wooden altar; one capilla has ivory-like statues; and one altar is pretty modern and made out of marble. This shows that these capillas were constructed in different time periods.
