SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Good to know

The history of Santiago de Compostela goes back to prehistoric times, to the castreña culture and to the arrival of the Romans. The turning point is the discovery of the tomb of the Apostle James. From that moment on, pilgrimages to visit his remains increased exponentially to the point of converting the later known as the

Way of Saint James into the most significant historical milestone, on a religious and cultural level, of the Galician Middle Ages.

In fact, the European Parliament recently designated the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago as the First European Cultural Itinerary, and UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site.
