Plaza del Obradoiro is a historic square located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela, a city in the northwest region of Spain. The square is surrounded by some of the most iconic buildings in the city, including the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, the Palacio de Raxoi, and the Colegio de San Jerónimo.
The square is paved with cobblestones and is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. It is named after the workshop (obradoiro in Spanish) that was once located here, where the stonemasons who built the cathedral worked. Today, the square is a bustling hub of activity, with street performers, artists, and vendors selling souvenirs and local crafts.
The centerpiece of the square is the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, which is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world. The cathedral's impressive façade features intricate carvings and sculptures, and its bell tower offers stunning views of the city. Visitors can also explore the cathedral's interior, which is filled with beautiful artwork and religious relics.
The Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, located on the eastern side of the square, is a historic hotel that was once a hospital for pilgrims. Today, it is a luxurious hotel that offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and culture. The Palacio de Raxoi, located on the western side of the square, is the seat of the Galician government and is also a popular tourist attraction.
The Colegio de San Jerónimo, located on the northern side of the square, is a beautiful Renaissance-style building that was once a college for priests. Today, it houses the rectorate of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
Overall, Plaza del Obradoiro is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Santiago de Compostela. Its stunning architecture, rich history, and vibrant atmosphere make it one of the most iconic and memorable places in the city.
