The Pazo de Fonseca, located in the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, is a Renaissance building from the 16th century that was originally the College of Santiago Alfeo, antecedent of the current University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).

Duration: 15 mins
4. Praza das Praterías
It is one of the most emblematic places in the city and is steeped in history and culture. The square takes its name from the numerous silversmiths' workshops that used to occupy the area in the Middle Ages. In the center of the square stands the Fountain of the Horses, a baroque fountain that adds a touch of elegance to the surroundings. Around it, there are historic buildings with facades of great architectural beauty. Highlights include the façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which rises majestically in the background, and the Church of Santa María Salomé. In addition to being a meeting point, the square is a witness to cultural events and celebrations that take place throughout the year, contributing to its importance as an emblematic space in the context of the Camino de Santiago.

5. Igrexa de Santa María Salomé
Located in the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, it is a temple of Romanesque origin built in the 12th century, although with later renovations in Baroque style. It is the only church in Spain dedicated to Saint Mary Salome, mother of the Apostle James. It highlights its Romanesque porch and Baroque tower, added in the 18th century.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Praza da Universidade
One of the spaces most linked to the academic tradition of the city. Its name comes from the presence of the historic buildings of the University of Santiago de Compostela, one of the oldest universities in Spain. Presiding over the square is the monumental Faculty of Geography and History, an elegant neoclassical building designed at the end of the 18th century by Melchor de Prado. Next to it is the former Church of the Company, now known as the University Church. The square is also an important link between the monumental quarter and the historic Arch of Mazarelos, the only preserved door of the medieval Compostela wall.
Duration: 10 mins
7. In this emblematic square located next to the supply market, we will find the Church of San Fiz de Solovio, a temple of medieval origin considered one of the oldest in the city. According to tradition, here lived the hermit Paio, who would have discovered the tomb of the Apostle Santiago. Its current structure combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements, the result of various reforms over the centuries. Its sober façade and the interior of a single nave stand out.
