Catedral de Santiago de Compostela
The Santiago de Compostela Cathedral is without a doubt the city’s most famous sight – the culmination of various pilgrimage routes across Spain and Portugal. Construction of the Cathedral began in 1075; however, it wasn’t consecrated until 1211. It comprises multiple architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Plateresque and Neoclassical. When inside, look out for the Botafumeiro – one of the largest censers in the world, weighing 53 kilograms (117 pounds) and measuring 1.5 metres (4.9 feet).
