Santiago de Compostela might be a small provincial city, but its old town was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO thanks to its monumental beauty. Over 200,000 pilgrims from all countries around the world walk, cycle, ride or fly to Santiago de Compostela at least once in their lives to experience this absolutely unique place. Of course, most travelers know about the stunning 11th-century Cathedral. With St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, it’s among the very few churches in the world built over the tomb of an apostle. Most travelers spend a long time appreciating the Portico of Glory—a Romanesque portico and the cathedral's main gate. It’s a masterpiece with deep sacred meaning created by Master Mateo. Joining a Free Tour in Santiago de Compostela with a guide, you will also visit the extensive Praza do Obradoiro square, the Hostal dos Reis Catolicos, the Benedictine monastery of San Martino Pinario, and more.
